Yep, a good chunk of us found this video from Aidan Millward, didn't we? I was a NASCAR fan at the time and knew nothing of IndyCar, so I don't know what safety wake-up calls the open-wheelers got before this, but my impression of the early 2000s American racing scene was, "Earnhardt just died, so everyone's taking safety seriously now." Thirteen-year-old me would have seen this as proof that those efforts were working, whether or not NASCAR's safety push had anything to do with IndyCar at all. Looking back at it twenty years later, though, it still seems so primitive. It's almost shocking to see footage of an oval lined with a standard concrete wall now, instead of the SAFER barrier.
It looks like the car rolling axis was in the middle of driver, I think that helped a lot in his suvival. Its good that engine got detached and moved that axis to driver.
The only way I've seen people survive this kind of stuff is when they are aware that is about to happen. Then I've seen people die, not from a first impact they expected, but a second sudden and unexpected impact. This makes sense. As you are aware your mind tells your body to brace for impact, then relaxes afterwards, however, when there's an unexpected impact, you are not ready for it in any way. The same happens in boxing or MMA. Notice that most fighters get knocked out by a punch they do not see coming or expect.
@@Douken this might be true for unexpected punches, but you just can’t prepare your body for 214g. He had all the luck in the world on this day and I’m really happy for him! The fact that he started competitive racing again not even a year later is just insane!
I normally like your videos, but this one felt disjointed. This was an IRL crash not Cart, so the part at the beginning wasn't needed, Also the pictures shown were of Kenny in the wrong series in regard to the story. He raced in both the IRL and Cart

Crazy to think this is the highest g force car accident ever survived
The highest g force in ANYTHING ever survived, let alone car crash
The fact that he survived this shows how much motorsports have gone in terms of safety. Absolute miracle that he got out alive.
How did he survive that and that’s gotta be the biggest Beyblade I’ve ever seen in my life

I just wanna know how the fuck this guy survived 214 g's?
It was for a short enough time and not a single direction (more of a spin then a straight impact). Had it been head on, he would have been killed

@@Douken With the G-forces involved in such a crash, "being prepared" is totally useless.

It is utterly astonishing that something as soft and meaty as a human can survive something of these measures.

Race?
Which one is Kenny?
The upper one or the lower one?
the one thats spinning at about 400 mph
so tbe upper one
I'm pretty sure a car that became the largest goddamn fidget spinner is Kenny
how the f!@# did he survive that?
He is one lucky guy.
he always cheat death
@@HancemayapuWdym “always?”
I don’t want to like the accident, but man, the story of the driver and his achievements after that… that seems made up after seeing this…
Why does this vid have only stupid comments?!?
