He's exactly right, flipping and shedding parts is reducing the energy and thus speed of impact. Probably best case scenario for a brake failure if you don't have a huge amount of space up to a barrier, which he still had quite a bit of regardless. Scary stuff, glad he's alright.
Unlike Joey Hand's infamous crash at the same track. Hand's car was doing ups and downs, bouncing every time it hit the grass infield as it slowed. Pagenaud stayed pretty much level, not up and down, and the tires scraped over it instead of digging in.
@@guessundheit6494hands crash was in a totally different spot at “turn 3”
With the aero screens that may be true, but that kind of roll is what killed Greg Moore, although Moore hit the wall first before going into a speed roll.
@@cnelsonlv99the roll did not kill greg moore, his head hitting a concrete wall is what killed him
Had a keyboard warrior claim if the sand trap was paved the hit would have been more easy on the driver, lmao...where ya at KW?
Kudos to the track worker for that baseball slide at the car…..
My thoughts exactly
Not a track worker that's one of the medical team.
150%!
Loved it
Yeah, really saved the day by being fat, slow and then sliding on the ground. Amazing.
Kids these days, impressed at anything remotely different.
It's hard to appreciate how fast these cars are traveling until you see one out of control. The speed with which it left the track to the time it first touched the gravel was incredible. So glad he's all right.
That woman rescue worker was so nice to him - he must have been mentally shaken up by that wreck.
I think she is a Doctor
@@drycanyon Not sure if a Doctor, but yes a part of the medical team, so for sure a trained medical professional. A sweet holding of the hand in a moment like that is surely comforting.
If I crash... I want her first on the scene.
Yea good to see both that and the fact that he was ok. He was absolutely hauling
She's the head Indycar doctor
So many things worked well here. Wheel tethers. Aero screen, roll cages. Cockpit padding, deformable structures, etc. engineering at its finest.
Yeah also the gravel trap, if it was a asphalt run off like on newer circuits, he would have skidded along like Zhou in Silverstone last year.
It's insane to look back and remember all the protests as the halo was being introduced. I didn't keep up with Indycar at the time so I don't know if the aeroscreen had the same protests, but they have both shown time and time again that they save lives.
The HANS device and headrest were also hugely important here, can't imagine hitting a violent and surviving without proper neck restraint.
@@Urtlesquirt This was not a violent hit, a lot of energy had been dissipated before the car hit the tyre wall.
the aeroscreen didnt do anything here, and it wasnt designed for this type of hit. the real mvp here is dallara's tub and the AMR safety team so please give credit where credit is due.
@@jimbrown9477 four rolls in the car lands upside down on top of its own wing. was far enough back I don't think it would have hit him, but in barrel roll crashes like this it's very easy for something to get into the cockpit and harm the driver.
Wow!!! Full speed crash and he walks away!!! That was scary. Gotta love the rescue crews that do these races.
👍👍
Nope all credit is to be given to the rollbar. Has saved probably 200+ lives across open wheel motorsport since the 70s or so
He walks away because he didnt hitted anything. Flips do not hurt driver much. Only in hollywood movies.
That is incredibly scary. Glad he’s okay.
I guarantee he won't miss a lap of racing.
One ride that driver won't forget!
Glad to see him on his feet. What a testament to the safety of the cars!!
What a build!!👍
If he remembers it, he'll never forget it.
Not safety of the track though, why is there like a hill right at that corner?!
@@MrJeanjean2009 u sayn he needs one of those contraptions that tell him when to turn??
That's funny
That entire sequence of barrel rolls was crazy to see at normal speed. Glad he’s okay
Honestly what hit me immediately was the sound. That was incredible.
Not. Barrel. Rolls. Do you know what a barrel looks like? Can you imagine what rolling around the length of a barrel would look like?
@@DoctorShocktor what are you saying? That wasn't a "barrel roll"?
@@DoctorShocktor They _were_ barrel rolls.
Haven’t seen this level of crash in a road course in a long time so happy Pagenaud is ok
Since Zhou for sure
@@HilltopperTAeven farther back, this was hella fast flips
What is level of crash? It was flips only. Flips are not really hurt driver. Its just like whirpool.
@@fanf1516 You have zero idea of what it's like. Lots of drivers have been injured in open wheel roll overs.
@@goodshipkaraboudjan But its not high G hit. And now when cockpits are covered it's almost nothing.
Brake failure… a driver’s worst nightmare. So glad Simon’s ok.
The AMR team never ceases to amaze me. Kudos to Dallara for building an incredible race car and keeping Simon safe. He did what he could to help himself, modern safety technology and good engineering did the rest. Hope Simon recovers quickly!
What's amazing is that the tub was 100% intact, barely even a scratch or dent. It's amazing what these cars can withstand. Sad that Simon suffered what is likely a career ending concussion.
That was incredible. The fact that he was able to throw it sideways upon noticing the brake failure is a testament to his driving ability. The presence of mind to stay cool under pressure saved him along with the safety features of the car.
These drivers don't make enough money when you think of it this way. Glad he's ok.
Man those Indycars are strong. Thank god for that
Thank Engineers, builders, welders and shop guys who build them
@@WarnerWrestlingyou know very well what he is trying to say, don’t be so obtuse.
@@dimitrijensk2845 thank you for saying that before I did
@@dimitrijensk2845But in a way he’s right. And i don’t mean 90 degrees either.
Thank Dallara for that
🇮🇹💪
Oh my goodness what a crash!! Big shoutout to the safety team for their quickness, teamwork, and caring in getting Simon out of the car and making sure he was okay after that massive flip.
I love the slide into the dirt the safety guy did 😂
Doctor, and yes very impressive. Zero thought for themselves.
Glad Simon's OK. What a horrific accident.
Well that was the largest crash in Mid Ohio since Joey Hand's crash in 2006.
Yeah I was there for that and I was there for Michael Andretti's which was very similar to this crash
The way she holds his hand
I love how racing is all family. The drivers, the crews and the safety workers are all family and she proved it. Awesome!!!!
@@defnick1yeah, they travel to the races instead of having different teams at each track. The drivers and safety team at the bare minimum know of each other.
@@defnick1 Not family at all, just good medical practice. He is clearly going through some shock and it is best to keep people like that as comfortable as possible.
@@ninetailedfox579121Yes that's correct but the family thing is also true. My partner works in motorsport (mostly here in the UK), I go along with him a lot. Especially when accidents happen it can feel very much like a family the way everyone responds to it and supports each other. Marshals, pit crews, drivers, team bosses, commentators, medical team, officials, everyone
@@ninetailedfox579121 She's a Doctor for the series, the Medical team and drivers/crew all know each other well. They're full time, same as the AMR team. Dr Gary Hartstein asked for the same kind of operation when he was the Medical Chief for F1 but got shut down due to cost.
Man! Glad Simon’s okay! That was a huge one!
2:46 That full speed clip is shocking!!!
The aeroscreen gives me some anxiety when a car is upside down and digs into the gravel like that, not much room to escape or be extracted in a hurry...
my thoughts exactly... Bell immediately said "Thank God for the aeroscreen," but watching it, it didnt do anything when watching the slow mode. It hinder his escape.
the first time a fire happens and a driver gets trapped inside the aeroscreen, trust me, they're going to rethink the whole idea.
@@jimbrown9477 Major fires are extremely rare in modern motorsport. It would take a massive crash to rupture the fuel cell, which would almost certainly render the driver unconscious anyway. Not to mention modern devices such as oxygen, fire extinguisher in the cockpit and high-tech fire suits that allow drivers to stay up to 30 seconds exposed to flames without serious consequences, like Grosjean in Bahrain 2020.
The slow motion one is just as shocking as well.
Michael Andretti had a very similar crash in that exact same spot in the late 90s (1997 if I remember correctly). The depression after the asphalt ends causes this. Every car that goes off in speed in that place will flip over
Do you know if that dip was built create that flip and dissipate energy?
@@Moli571it’s just the way the course is. Natural terrain course. It’s always been that way.
As an undulating circuit, that's the top of the turns banking ... falling away to the sand trap.
1998
remember in 2006 in the American le mans series sports car race when one of the Aston Martin flew off at that same corner and into the barrier.
Holy sh*t. That was wild. Glad he's okay!
My neck and back hurts just watching that. Happy to see that he’s okay 😊
0:40 respect to the hustle of safety team
that was probably the most violent rolls I've seen in a long time!
Glad he’s ok. And glad he was able to scrub some energy. Also glad the wheel straps worked for the people on the other side of that fence.
The first rescue worker slide into perfect position 10/10… respect.
I would like to personally thank everyone who works to keep our drivers safe!!! All of the safety crews, the track designers, the car manufacturers, the safety manufacturers and designers and manufactures of devices such as the HANS device!!! THANK YOU!!!
The scariest part of this was not having brakes at 180mph+ with a 80mph corner up ahead.
Most of these career drivers have been in high speed crashes more then once and lived to tell about it.
Now watching a road car do this at 80mph would surely be gruesome....all the best to the legendary Frenchman and many more races to come👍
I’m guessing that 6.5 high speed rolls is also terrifying. Hard to judge which is worse.
All I'm saying is that I'd rather crash in an open wheel race car then in a road car at half that speed.
Road cars only guarantee survival up to a certain speed whereas race cars have a much higher survival rate, even after catching some air.
what a testament of how well that safety equipment works
That’s one of the most violent Indycar crashes I’ve ever seen
Kudos to the medical and AMR teams getting to him so quick and making sure he was ok. Could’ve been a lot worse
Wow! That was crazy. I'm glad he's okay!
Luckily for Simon, that was about the best and nicest crash you could have in that scenario at those speeds. So many minor differences could have made that crash so much worse.
that is one of the scariest crashes I have ever seen, I'm glad he's okay.
Dallara is a proud of Italy
Man I will always say that safety team in american racing is the best out there no matter what the series is, indycar, nascad or imsa, they have the quickest response and act so fast whatever the condition. Kudos to all the safety team!
AMR safety team are great. Props to that person that slid
Props to Simon for maneuvering his car in the best way he possibly could, and glad to hear he's alright!
Nothing scarier than watching an indy roll towards a concrete wall like that. Brings back a a lot of emotion . Reminded me of the Greg Moore crash.
Glad he's okay! The Aeroscreen proves better than the Halo AGAIN.
Simon Pagenaud is a legend. it's time to think only of the grandchildren and the house in the countryside.
Good roll cage.
The scariest part was that the car was flying before it started rolling!
Yeah, guessing it got launched by the change in surface as it hit the edge of the grass side-on.
@@CraigPaulWilsonit’s about a 20 foot drop
Uh no. The driver wouldn’t even sense the flying part, it was pretty level.
@@CraigPaulWilson Not the change of surface, it looks like the edge of the track rises up and the grass part goes back down. Basically it's a ramp.
@@ninetailedfox579121 it is a ramp
"Ah he did 1 turn it wasn't that bad"... Then the replay, holy smokes... That was wild.
The science of safety in the design of these hot rods is fully demonstrated here.
Gets Out Of The Car: Gives A Thumbs Up Says I'm Okay. Next Day: You Get A Head Injury That's Pretty Brutal To See.
Great to see he is ok. He's not had a huge shunt in a long and successful career. MSR need to sort their house out, with their budget their cars should firstly not be getting brake failure and secondly perform much better. Also well done Indycar and Dallara, the cars are bulletproof and the Aeroscreen is world leading.
O my god, that looks horrific!!! 😱😱 Is this the crash where he got out of the car, seemingly okay, but ended up having braindamage and hasn't been able to race till this day?? I just heard about it in a Dutch racing program and they said he's still having a lot of health isseus... That's horrible... 😲Never ceases to amaze me what adrenaline can do... I've had a major car-crash myself, a head-on collision at a combined speed of 125mph. The car was completely totalled and I had shattered my left-ankle, broke my right foot as well, fractured my sternum and collarbone, shifted 2 vertebrae in my neck, had a skullfracture and internal bleedings, but I still managed to get out of the car over the driversseat when the fire department couldn't get me out, without feeling a thing, all because of the adrenaline... Amazing what it does to the body so you can survive, but as you can see here it can also mask some serious injuries. I hope he's gonna be okay!! 🙏🙏
Yes he's still dealing with the aftermath of this. He posts on Instagram and recently posted an update.
AMR + Holmatra = Best in the world.
Reminds me of Fabian Coulthards roll at Bathurst in 2010 doing around 280kph but in a V8 Supercar.
rolled the same amount ot time's but credit to the people who build these cars to keep the driver safe
Wheel tethers worked well, saving lives possibly.
My favorite thing about violent and scary crashes is seeing the driver get out and walk away.
I know, right?
Highlight Reels!!, , Forever!!. Simon made history on that one.
I don't think I've EVER seen an IndyCar barrel roll like that! I've seen them go airborne but that looked like Ryan Newman's Daytona 2003 crash, I mean I remember a Ganassi car at Chicagoland in 2005 going airborne but no barrel rolls.
And you haven’t seen one here. A barrel roll is literally the shape of traveling inside a barrel. This car did longitudinal rolls or flips. Words actually have meanings, amazing I know!
And not only remember the Michael Andretti's crash in this track, I got the reminiscent of the Patrick Carpentier's flip in Road America in 1999, was too scariest as this one.
Reminiscent of Michael Andretti's crash there way back when. Glad he's OK, scary stuff.
Can’t believe I was there to see that live last year
Even though he was rolling and skipping through the gravel trap, the gravel did slow the vehicle down and minimized the impact with the tire barrier.
And he walked away. Thank goodness, and thanks to car safety, and thanks to the safety team. 🥵
My God that was scary. That has to be the worst road course crash in IndyCar in a long time.
Crazy this was a year ago...
So glad he rolled and didn't go head on into the barrier.
Incredible engineering behind those cars…
Wow, I worked in various forms of racing for 20+ years. That's one of the most violent mishaps I've ever seen.
UNBELIEVABLE! Kuddos to the safety teams and engineering!
Holy S--t ! That was a wicked crash. Respect to the safety standards of that chassis and IndyCar !
Marshalls and medical team are top tier here. Well done all.
Good thing that the car also flipped on its side rather than tumbling and slamming on the nose and tail putting more strain on his spine. Im soo happy he's ok that was scary.
That’s one of the scariest wrecks of seen in a Indycar in years besides the big oval tracks, that’s a bad wreck at a road course.
Nice to see that the track was properly designed, with that much room for failures like this (barely touched the tyre wall), and also that the wheels stayed attached to the car like they are supposed to.
Allez Simon on est avec toi !❤
My god. The SPEED that vehicle went off course at was horrifying, heading towards a 90 degree wall, and frankly, parts of that wall were NOT well protected (notice the concrete barriers sticking out above the tires that could have been first impact for a flying car). All things considered, those barrel rolls were crucial to avoiding an absolutely devastating blunt force impact.
If they were “barrel rolls”, probably would have been worse. Thank goodness they were just simple rolls.
@@DoctorShocktor you seem really invested in 'correcting' people here.
He rolled so fast!
thats wild he flying and tossing and turning glad he's okay thats scary as heck
All the tires stayed connected to the car. Better teether connections since Indy.
Same connection system. Indy was a HUGE outlier. SMH people have no concept of statistics.
glad he's ok, scary week for motorsports fan especially after the loss of a F4 driver.
this is far more scarier than Fernando Alonso 2016 Australia crash
glad the driver is okay and unhurt
AutoNation has been flipping a lot this season. First Kirkwood now Pageneaud
That's impressive, all the wheels stayed tethered to the chassis considering what happened at the Indy 500
They normally all stay attached. The one incident at Indy in twenty some years is an EXCEPTION, not something to “be considered” in other accidents.
The worst wreck for a driver. Having no brakes has to be the scariest thing except for maybe a hung throttle. So glad he’s ok.
I don’t know if they ever read comments but I would like to thank the safety crews for not only this wreck but every other across Motorsports
Wow man! That looked incredibly bad! So glad he is ok!
This crash is a hybrid of Andretti at Mid Ohio in 98 and Carpentier at Road America in 99
incroyable la vitesse à laquelle il sort de la piste 😱
A essayé de compter le nombre de tonneau 🤔🤔 vu la vitesse pas facile
Incroyable Simon😱, j'ai essayé de compter le nombre de tonneau qu'il a fait mais ça va trop vite 😮😮 voiture bien sécurisée rien à dire 👍
Vaguely reminiscent of the old Rusty Wallace NASCAR flips…
It's great to see the female safety crew member helping him along. Very comforting to him.
She's a doctor.
@@goodshipkaraboudjan I know.
@@goodshipkaraboudjan And head of the AMR safety team.
End of the back straight at Mid Ohio. I believe Michael Andretti had a similar crash at this spot, years ago
1998: Michael had the Biggest Crash at Mid Ohio
2023: Simon says “Hold My Beer”
And he walks away 👍👏👏👏
that has got to be record of air time wow Glad he is ok
????? It was in the air for a couple seconds, then started rolling. No airtime hardly at all.
Thank God for the F1 Halo and Indycar aeroscreen. They have saved the lives of numerous drivers the last few years.
Thank God he's okay! He's a winner today!
Hope he fully recovers and possibly able to race again.
Somebody sure messed up with the brake job because Pagenaud is a top end driver who just nearly got killed. Thank God he is ok.
I remember a Newman Haas car doing something very similar in this exact spot about 20 years ago. Was it Michael Andretti?
*Dang, he cleared half a football field of grass to land in the dirt!*
When the car capsizes the windscreen is anything but an improvement in terms of safety as the driver can easily be entrapped in the car....beyond making these cars an eyesore
Correct.
Nonsense.
Alright then let's try getting in one of these cars without a windscreen, flipping it upside down and seeing how easy it is to get out of.
dang that was crazy a testament to the new tech that protects them though, you dont usually see that in indycar though sprints or other open wheel yes but not indy cuz its got more downforce and less top heavy
