I have a concussion from a work accident. It's been 1.5 year that I'm still suffering. Can't do sports. Can't go out in busy places. Can't drive and get sick in the car. Take care of your head people.
Don't want to use the word "enjoy" but you may like to check out on You Tube RIP FLYING DOCTOR DR JOHN HINDS THE FASTEST ROAD RACING DOCTOR a must see for any motorsport fan and a fitting tribute to a great man sadly missed by many
I was a passenger, ejected. Did get knocked out momentarily. My concussion effects lasted two years, equilibrium was the worst,. I had little children. Sitting up, and sitting up after kneeling or laying down would have about 20 seconds of tilting dizziness. Great awareness as well from Dale Earnhardt Jr.
I did full contact martial arts from 2006 to 2012. Suffered four concussions in a five year span plus dealt with post-concussion syndrome in 2011 and I can honestly say I'm still dealing with long-term effects from it. I can remember certain events from many years ago but then again I forget the littlest things like what I had for breakfast and where I put my car keys when they're literally in my pocket. Can't get stressed out because I get dizzy and my head hurts. And I feel like my depression has gotten worse as a result. Considering donating my brain to science what's left of it and maybe speaking out for the awareness of concussions
I fell on my left side on asphalt. The receptionist told me "We don't want to see you until you have a CT Scan. The scan was okay. I didn't tell the doctor I felt my brain slosh left then right then almost to center, then still. The next day I had a forehead headache. That got worse and better for a week. The dead end thoughts were frustrating. Everything was slower, walking, talking, moving etc. That was late August. I'm finally aware what month this is. I'm glad doctors and researchers are talking about damage inside the skull.
I know exactly what they are talking about. In I was driving a 1985 4 door Chevette, I slid on ice and got T-boned in the passenger side by a 3/4 Ton Chevy Surburban. I was going around 55 and so was he. Major head trauma. No memory of accident or the next 2 weeks, but was alert, talking, seeming to be ok, but what came out of my mouth was concerning. I created my own little world. Scared the shit out of my family. What Dario said about his test and not being able remember it, yet somewhat rembering it as he took another one later , is something that I had. Took well over a year to convince friends and family that mentality I was back to normal. Long term effects are what concern me.
THANK YOU for this video. I suffered a sever head trauma (TBI) from a violent bicycle training accident. I wondered if a brain injury stopped Dario from racing.
As a small time racer who has had multiple concussions I can say that you can tell when you have a concussion. First one I was working on my car the day after tearing it down getting ready to replace all the broken parts and I bent over and fell on my face. My Dad asked what I was doing and I told him I had no idea I just bent over and couldn't stop. I was slightly dizzy all day too. That was the minor one. The second one I was seeing quadruple vision instantly. I couldn't talk right, couldn't see, couldn't focus on anything, insane headache. Didn't lose consciousness or memory luckily. But it was the point where they were about to take me straight to the trauma center for a CAT scan but I told them no like and idiot. My thinking was as long as it doesn't get worse what can the doctors do that I can't? You can't put a cast on it or a band aid. Looking back on it is was funny but stupid. Then again I shouldn't be surprised since I raced with a broken arm one time when I declined a trip to the hospital then too.
I had a car crash and had a pretty massive concussion, I blacked out for a bit, hazily drug myself out of the car, then just sat there for a long time. Didnt realize until I was in class a few days later that my head was screwed up. Ive also had a few concussions since that I rocked my head and while I didnt black out or anything, a day or two later my brain just wasnt right. One concussion I had it was like 2-3 days later then I went to an urgent clinic and couldnt tell my left from my right. My mood was all over th place for a while, calm as could be, then a second later I broke my hand punching my fridge, then just depressed for a few months. I remember having onee concussion before thanksgiving, going to my aunt and uncles house and just being really confused and scared.
In an earlier video Dr. Olvey talked about head and neck restraints needing to not get hung up on headrests. The original HANS had a big piece behind the helmet. New ones like the Schroth SHR Flex have very little or no parts behind the helmet. Will those get hung up on the headrest in a roll? Does Dr. Olvey recommend avoiding them?
Very interesting, how many sports have a real concussion risk. Many things doctors can fix especially with stem cell treatments these days, but not the brain.
I just recently made safety related comments about concern for top surface design area of side pods of the new IndyCar being curved like that of the top surface of an airplane's wing,how do you test this in a wind tunnel because you have to chain or bolt the car in place so it doesn't blow down the wind tunnel backwards in the direction your blowing across it surfaces you could leave desired amounts slack to see if lift is actually beginning to accrue. Also hencemoreover...what about to say next "the wind tunnel guys are really gonna hate me for saying this" is two things. First if you test the car with it turn sideways say the backend stepped out about a foot or so,secondly how about a mildly curved hallway to try to simulate airflow in a turn ,more importantly two cars or three car positions to thoroughly test or demostrate lift and downforces on the cars in corners,I don't ask much do I, it was just a thought that's why I'm think from the drivers perspective and not solely an engineering point,but I'm sure someone has already thought of this and said you go build your curved wind tunnel,make me one too...
Kellie Nicole Brooks Schettino I see no one has given you any response, hopefully this will help. I am by no means an aerodynamicist, but i have a bit more understanding than the average joe. I belive you’re referring to the leading edge of the indycar side pod that slopes downward to the bottom/under tray. Any positive lift would be stopped when the air comes in contact with the under tray that sticks out another foot or so from the sidepod. However if you’re referring to the overall “rain drop” shape with it slightly sloping down as it gets closer to the rear of the car... that wont generate anywhere near enough positive lift to overcome the negative lift produced by all the wing elements. Secondly the under tray kicks upwards at the rear of the car more extensively than the sidepod slopes downward, which would also minimize or eliminate any positive lift generated by the shape of the side pod. And on your point of the cars potentially sliding sideways in corners... the little “shark fin” coming off the backside of cock pit bulge (however small, probably more for refining flow off the backside of the body) can act as an anti yaw force when air is flowing anywhere but head on. Along with the endplates of the rear wing. Lastly, the people who designed the cars are paid to maximize every single bit of performance possible within the given rule constraints, I highly doubt they would allow any bit of positive lift to be generated. I hope this helps. As i said, i am not an aerodynamicist, just someone who knows slightly more than the average joe.
Honestly I really dont care about concussions. Ive played hockey shortly after concussions and raced (yes i do both). I take care of myself for a few days if not a few weeks to rest up then get back into it. If I mess my brain up later in life I dont really care, its my brain. I can choose to do it to myself as long as im not a danger to others.
so when is the next technological advances for head injury protection going to occur? with all the focus on concussion and head trauma, why can't we engineer out a better helmet designed to protect brain movement?
rjs15570 don't think there's much you can do with the helmet, when you look at the dario's indy car crash, the fence didn't give in that much. Sort of like crashing into a brickwall over crashing into a 'pillow'. That's called momentum impulse. Thus, the fence should of been 'loosened up'. Also, the track width is extremely narrow too.
rjs15570 - As you can see from the animation in the video. Whatever technology designed to protect brain movement, will likely (the only way I see it) be inside your skull. And if or whenever it becomes available. Im not too sure how many people would trust putting whatever it is, inside their skull.Edit: Might have over thought this one. Anyway there might be a way for drivers. Not sure about other sports like Hockey or American Football
There is jack all we can do now. Helmets are pretty much as good as they are going to be for a long time. Brain injuries aren't a result of helmets not being good enough, but our brains just not being able to cope. You could have the best helmet in the world, but if you stop suddenly your brain is still going to move. Helmets are there to protect from impacts, which they do splendidly. But they don't stop your brain moving about inside your head, and harming itself. The best thing being looked at is research on the Woodpecker and adapting its biology into helmets. We know that its brain is surrounded by a spongy material that protects it, and scientists are looking into how we could transfer that lesson into helmets. But there is really very little we can do to slow the brain down while its inside our heads. Perhaps more foam on the interior to gradually slow your head. www.livescience.com/19586-woodpecker-skull-concussions.html As Jari said, until we can put something inbetween our skull and brain, in place of the viscous fluid that is currently there, that will assist in slowing and protecting our brain, there isn't much we can do but treat.

Take care of your head people.
Can you still ride bikes without getting sick?
K9-1000 damn bro u get paid?
BlackDevil
Hell no. I get in a taxi to go around and I get sick.
K9-1000 that sucks, sorry to hear that! I hope you will get better with time!
BlackDevil
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.
Great video to raise awareness. I find all of the videos you guys produce to be very informative. Thanks for sharing!

I suffered a concussion last year and I still feel the aftermath of my concussion to this day forward I still get headaches and some memory loss

Having had 2 concussions myself, that last line Dario says hurts the most. When you cant do what you love anymore...
There are two types of sprint car racers, ones who have flipped and ones who will flip
Great video :] Its good to bring awareness to it

read that Drs book, it is really good
jennifur sun - I already did. I think about it everytime I hear his name.
Man, olveys seen some serious shit; respect
I'm very light headed, I can get nausea from just the wind blowing on my head. My dad used to drop me for fun when I was little.
have had two accidents, non concussion and lost a week as well.

So many tracks are channels. No spinout room.
Here after Verstappen crash, hope he isn't affected
Que tipo lindo, che.
Dario francitti
the shocking part of this is to find out that race car drivers actually have brains
Honestly I really dont care about concussions. Ive played hockey shortly after concussions and raced (yes i do both). I take care of myself for a few days if not a few weeks to rest up then get back into it. If I mess my brain up later in life I dont really care, its my brain.

Noone else cares about ur concussions either... have fun not remembering where ur house is at 50 tho
That's the spirit.
You going to change your own diaper, wipe your own drool.
Yes, it's your brain and you don't care?
So mote it be.👍✌
Sounds like your already got a messed up head
so when is the next technological advances for head injury protection going to occur? with all the focus on concussion and head trauma, why can't we engineer out a better helmet designed to protect brain movement?
