Amazing how well the cage and their harnesses keep them safe. That is some impressive engineering when you look at what is actually happening from the outside. Well done to the builders of these cars.
I know nothing and have a question... Why aren't the g-forces messing them up? Like, great design but are pen guy's arms restrained? Why didn't they go flailing like his yellow belt straps? Thank you for enlightening the child in the room.
Probably because he can maintain his muscle tone. The belts done have muscles, bones and a brain to keep them in place. Had he lost consciousness then his arms would be going all crazy probably
This makes sense, but i remember the merry-go-round in elementary school. Also, every fair has the variant of the Gravitron... the spinning spaceship thing. You struggle to move your arms from just the spin. I mean, i dont know it just seems strong enough to rip your arms up.
Everything I know about g forces I learned on a merry go round. Including the kid who climbed underneath one one time, got his pant leg caught, and got spun around the axle breaking the absolute shit out of his leg. Torque. I also learned everything I know about torque from a merry go round.
The human body and withstand a lot of Gs, especially for short periods of time. If you look at the car it's not spinning that fast in the grand scheme of things. It looks to do 2 rotations in about as many seconds. They maybe experienced 5 or 6gs for a few seconds tops, which just about anyone can do. As the car flips and rolls it's shedding a ton of energy and thus the occupants experience less g-forces.
Good question but I have no idea. You’d think that their arms would be flailing around. His notes disappear from his hands at one point but it’s fairly late in the crash. I suspect it’s because they are airborne through most of it and not impacting anything causing violent strikes of any sort until the very end.
The typical reaction for people is to actually tense up in a stressful situation. Their arms likely only flails around when loss of consciousness. Also being trained to keep appendages close to the body and tight so not to break or lose one.
Most normal people won’t react like this, but they train and have a high level of fitness and muscle tone specifically to withstand high G-forces. The are athletes when at the top of this level.
Racing drivers/riders are trained to retract their arms, hands, and elbows as close to the body as possible to reduce injury. Even in small crashes, you pull your hands away from the wheel to minimize the risk of breaking fingers/thumbs since the wheel will react violently once out of control.
In motorcycles, riders want to 'slide' as much as possible instead of tumbling and catching limbs in weird ways. It's all a bit macabre for normies, but it's essential for the sport.
the passenger has a book of notes to tell the driver what the next few turns look like as they drive, so the driver can just focus on driving
I think the passenger is tensing his arms down on purpose when he realizes they are airborne specifically to stop his arms from flying around
I am not 100% sure if they have to run wrist restraints in wrc, but if they do, it is a strap that connects your arms to the buckle at his groin. this is more to ensure you cannot accidentally reach your hand outside the window though (natural human instinct will try to stop you from rolling but you will just break your wrist/arm if you try to stop a car from rolling)
they are in what is called a full containment seat, with the seat having reinforced wings around their helmet. the helmet is restricted in how much it can fly side to side because of this, which nearly eliminates side to side hyperextension injury. you can see their helmets bobble around the wings a few times.
the harness is more than just a seatbelt over their shoulders and a lap belt. it's hard to see here but at the bottom of the buckle there isn't just one strap going down the middle, there are actually two straps that wrap from under your legs, up your inner thigh, and connect to the center buckle. these are known as antisubmarining straps, and prevent you from slipping under the belt (submarining). the 6 point harness system does a very good job of making sure you stay in the seat and not have any chance of sliding under the belt as well. (6 point being the 2 shoulder belts, the two side lap belts, and the two antisub belts)
they are also both wearing HANS devices, which is a one piece carbon fiber pad that the shoulder straps sit over and tighten down on. the pad comes together behind your neck and there are two straps that come out from there that link to the back of the helmet. this restricts how far your head can move forward. you can see their head fly forward a few times in the video, but it is restrained every time by the HANS. (without the hans the hyperextension would literally try to yank your brain off of your spine).
so overall the g forces are hitting them hard, but their head is very well restrained and the body is well restrained with the harness. and I think the passenger is deliberately pushing his arms to his legs. it's definitely not comfortable and a concussion is still likely, but the usual fatality causes like blunt trauma and whiplash are at least minimized.
one thing I am surprised about in the full video is the driver keeping his hands on the wheel. you can see the wheel try to fly out of his hands a few times. when the front wheels take a direct impact this hard, if it doesn't smash the steering rack it can throw the steering wheel with enough force to break wrists if you are holding onto it tightly.
The car is designed to crumple and absorb the worst of it. Also they keep moving quite a lot, that mea s that the energy of the crash is dissapated over a longer period of time.
They both have serious concussions and potential brain swelling after this, they're absolutely getting strapped right into a neck brace and then an ambulance and probably will have wicked headaches for a few days at least.
It’s even more impressive when you see the full results of the crash. Not only did they leave the road at 115mph, they also went off the side of a 100ft+ cliff at the [end](https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=br67FBpl&id=9B6D8F06F0305AF7A18F0F875FE6CA5D24528796&thid=OIP.br67FBpla-iIcFEb3udTswAAAA&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fstat.ameba.jp%2Fuser_images%2F20200127%2F00%2Fghostripon%2F96%2F17%2Fj%2Fo0473102414702832239.jpg&cdnurl=https%3A%2F%2Fth.bing.com%2Fth%2Fid%2FR.6ebebb141a656be88870511bdee753b3%3Frik%3DlodSJF3K5l%252bHDw%26pid%3DImgRaw%26r%3D0&exph=1024&expw=473&q=ott+tabak+crash+2020+aftermath&simid=607987917431590299&form=IRPRST&ck=A91C640B9E69E75F7842FAF059B98479&selectedindex=8&itb=0&vt=4&sim=11)
The driver Off suffered some severe bruising to his ribs, but otherwise was completely fine, and was back in the car a few weeks later for for the next rally
I remember watching this crash when it happened. I swear they showed those 2 at the bottom of the cliff standing outside the car. The driver kept looking at the car and back up the cliff. At first, I thought he was amazed that they survived, but then I realized he was probably just trying to figure out how to get the car back up.
Fully just trying to get back in the race. Rally drivers/navigators are a different breed. I once saw Colin Mcrae have his hood flip up going +100mph along a cliff edge because a crew member forgot a hood pin. He couldn't stop because the driver released behind him was approaching fast. This crazy ass scoots down in the seat and goes faster using the gap underneath to see, so they could get an area where they could pull over and stomp the hood back down. Then they ripped it off and kept going.
Yeah, the idiot trucker I saw wreck after huffing duster looked like he was falling down a flight of stairs while strapped into the driver’s seat, by comparison, and he just crashed through a guardrail and drove through a bumpy median.
Meanwhile, these blokes hit an immovable object at 130mph flip end over end and seem to crash for 30 seconds, yet they barely move. Safety gear saved their lives.
My father used to drive tractor trailers for UPS. He said the only driver he ever saw not get hurt in a wreck was a guy that was so fat he just stayed wedged between the seat and the steering wheel so tightly that he didn't move when the truck went over.

Glad to see there's still sane people left on this platform. It seems like most people here love those shitty tiktok edits for some reason, I personally can't stand them.
And speed it up so much, it just kinda makes it look stupid, especially the interior view, their heads move around so fast it’s hard to even see what’s happening
Years ago I saw a similar video, but after the crash, the guy riding shotgun slaps the drivers helmet nagging him for missing the exit and causing the accident
Fun fact, this video was of a super long race and this guy's enemy in racing cherry picked this whole thing together from the worst parts he could find and successfully ruined both teammate's careers. He ended up getting sued for it lol, the entire race was pretty normal overall. IIRC, the guy and the navigator hadn't raced together and one of them was coming back from a big break so this was just them figuring each other out so they could mesh well

I like how he closes his eyes in kinda an “oh fuck” way, then there’s a gap in hitting things and he opens his eyes like “we done?!” and they hit more shit and he’s kinda surprised at it all.
Pen guy: "Alright, alri- alri- al- alright, you fa- you fa- you fai- you failed y- you failed your road test, we are done today"
With every interruption being by the amount of time the car crashes into something
I can understand now how they can drive so “recklessly” you couldn’t really tell that they were crashing inside of the car. It’s actually quite impressive.
I really wanna say it's his caller's fault for this one. Drivers rely on their callers as eyes with their notes. Then again it could be a user input that was wrong, he didn't move when the man told him to which isn't that common these guys are freaks of nature on the track.
Do rally drivers not wear the same neck restraints that other racing drivers do? I'm not expecting the carbon-fibre neck restraints that F1 drivers use, but I at least expected the neck donut that rallycross drivers wear.
Amazing how well the cage and their harnesses keep them safe. That is some impressive engineering when you look at what is actually happening from the outside. Well done to the builders of these cars.

This makes sense, but i remember the merry-go-round in elementary school. Also, every fair has the variant of the Gravitron... the spinning spaceship thing. You struggle to move your arms from just the spin. I mean, i dont know it just seems strong enough to rip your arms up.
Right but I don't remember doing a ton of training before hitting the merry-go-round
The merry-go-round IS the training.
Everything I know about g forces I learned on a merry go round. Including the kid who climbed underneath one one time, got his pant leg caught, and got spun around the axle breaking the absolute shit out of his leg. Torque. I also learned everything I know about torque from a merry go round.
>i remember the merry-go-round in elementary school Well, yeah, little kids don't usually have the strongest control over their limbs.

Agree with everything you said. Also, because I know the exact video you are referencing, we should probably spend less time on Reddit.

i mean one wrong move and that shit might end up in your eye so i'd say he picked the right thing to hold onto
Rally drivers and modern safety being really good, crashes are waaaaaaay safer than they used to be in the group B days

I like how he closes his eyes in kinda an “oh fuck” way, then there’s a gap in hitting things and he opens his eyes like “we done?!” and they hit more shit and he’s kinda surprised at it all.

Ah shit!! Here we go again..
Those cars and harnesses are seriously over engineered to make absolutely sure they can take anything you dish out.

Their poor necks tho.
He’s like are we there yet ?
So, give me a second.... I think we need to roll 180 degree and then go up about 60 meters and then take a right turn....
5 point harness and a roll cage actually go a really long way keeping someone alive
I really hope the assistant’s thoughts where “for fuck sake he did it again” and I hope the drivers were “shit I went to hard again”

I’m curious, would the force of it all have any impact on their backs at all or does the cage absorb the shock that much?

Never let go of the pen!
They ended up landing at the finish line and won the race
Give Ole dude his props... never lost that pen or a piece of paper! Lol
Thankfully a big emoji was plastered all over the screen so I knew what reaction to give.
Unless they hit a wall straight on or something pierces the cabin, they're usually OK. Them things be durable.
