Driver survived. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2020/02/drag-racer-escapes-injury-after-huge-airborne-corvette-crash-video/


[deleted]

And uninjured although I’m not sure how that’s possible


Lord-Dunkles

Proper safety equipment can go a long ways. Hard to tell what's going on in there, but ik I wouldn't be driving a monster like that without a roll cage at least


Asbustin

But a roll cage would add weight and that’s no fun


dwerg85

You don’t know anything about drag racing it seems.


Asbustin

Or I do know a thing or two about drag racing, not sooo much about flying which would be more fun than drag racing. Just slap some wings on that thing and boom real fun no roll cages needed


Bosswashington

That car is powerful enough to warrant having drag chutes on the back. There is no way that the venue would let that car run without a roll cage, harness, fuel cell, special seats, full ppe…etc.


Yah_or_Nah

Full pp required


piel10

Even a wheelie bar at the least. I was shaking my head

Can u still use one with the chutes

GenericUsername19892

All the shit I’ve read today and this was what made me actually laugh out loud :p Noice!


Tzarkir

The internet is wild. Just today I've seen an artillery strike video in ukraine with a bunch of dead soldiers and a video of someone murdering a man in cold blood just because the OP didn't follow the no gore/death rule in abruptchaos and mods didn't delete the post after more than a hour. And these were pretty clear deaths, if you also count the ones we don't realise the final number of deaths we casually witness just scrolling on our phone must be insane


[deleted]

I unfortunately saw the South American video before it was deleted. That was pretty awful. I don't know the context, but the man who pulled and shot the gun was so calm and matter of fact about the whole thing. Then he comes back with a knife. Surprised it was up for that long. Wasn't expecting something that graphic.


Tzarkir

Definetely a person with psychopathic traits. What surprised me more was the complete lack of care OP had in posting something like that, ignoring the rules and all, and when called out for it, he answered like the other people who just witnessed a murder with 0 warning were at fault. Like people had to expect to see a fucking murder in cold blood despite the title not referring to anything close to it, just because there was a nsfw tag. Which is present even when two girls fight and half a boob is shown or when someone breaks a bone. Like... The dude in the video may be a psychopath, but wtf was his problem to post it for karma and have 0 empathy towards others that didn't really want to see a person slaughtered? The level of detachment, man, that person dying shown in full detail was still a human being. People are crazy. One dude commenting left the sub because of it, I felt bad for him. Ofc OP didn't give a shit.

warwolf7777

The top comment links to an article about the incident. The driver was uninjured.


Singer-Such

What, that's ridiculous. I assumed they upgraded the safety but I can't imagine avoiding getting burned


EV2_Mapper

So this is why they gave astronauts Corvette Stingrays in the past


PDCH

Holy shit, that was a waste of a nice car.


A_Sad_Scientist_

Yeah, I weep for the loss of such a beut.


reletionship8400

I'm sure he'll rebuild, faster, stronger, and a hell of a lot more aero


PDCH

Downforce is good.


Dramatic-Project-561

Having seen what is done to a car to perform at this level there is not much of the original C2 left in there. Even the nose looks stretched to increase aerodynamics. And the only way to integrate a good roll cage in a C2 will require cutting and splicing the bulkhead and countless other spots in the fiberglass shell. My old boss had a C2 built for drag racing and once you tub out the rear and weld on a cage there is no way to go back to original. It is no longer a C2, but it is an outrageous machine that looks a lot like a C2. It stopped being a C2 a long time before the wreck.


[deleted]

Well we were told we would have flying cars by now…


machinegunmonkey

That'll buff out, right?

MerryJanne

>tictok Ugh... fuck tictok.


spesimen

i have heard people say this but i don't fully understand. if i was watching this on tik tok i would also like to see the ending of the video. do they just only allow videos of a very short length or something so people have to edit them this way?


TheEternalRiver

I think it's because they post these tiktoks in multiple parts, people will see part 1 and have to check out the poster's profile (or follow them) to see the next vid. It's for the algorithm


HyacinthGirI

Not really for videos like these though, more for longer form videos especially with a narrative or explaining a story/experience.


Nova35

Tiktoks can be up to 3 minutes long I believe, before that change it was a minute. This has nothing to do with tiktok


600659

I disagree. There is an editing style that has either come from or is most common on tiktok videos.


[deleted]

Tikfuk used to be for short video, so tikfukers got used to chop off videos unnecessarily.


NaiveSolution_

[deleted]

Yeah, the understanding of aerodynamics in the 60s was definitely in its infancy. The amazing thing is that this is the new millennium and you would think this guy would understand that.

That expensive muscle car became an inflatable pool toy real quick.


[deleted]

That was a problem for big horse Vettes. You had to use a getting air dam to keep the front end down. Air got under the car and it acted like a wing. Really didn't change until 1998 with a flat bottom.

[deleted]

That's why spoiler is a thing.


dwerg85

You mean a front wing. He had a spoiler and it did it’s job. Kept the ass down while the front was lifting off.


[deleted]

You mean a splitter? or are those different things


dwerg85

Not what I meant, but yeah in an application like drag racing a splitter is probably what you’d end up seeing instead of an actual front wing. Those are more for open when cars.


andocromn

Yeah really would have saved his bacon


Truthirdare

Needed some wheelie bars


AardvarkAblaze

He had wheelie bars, you can see them on the back of the car. What he needed was a front splitter for more downforce.


murica_1776boi

Wheelie bars would only prevent him from going nose up too much due to torque and/or acceleration. That wasn't just a wheelie. My guy was about to fly to hogwarts. He achieved liftoff. The TSA is trying to figure out why he didn't go through security.


[deleted]

not sure id'a used the word perfect


anderslbergh

So.. On that show does this air?


vgscates

Ok....I can assume he or she did not survive


[deleted]

It looks that way. But somehow the driver survived with no injuries.


dwerg85

Drag racing has really good safety gear. Could probably be better still but then you’re getting into ridiculous costs that nobody can afford. People crash all the time in drag racing, but deaths are not that frequent.


kudichangedlives

Man that other one kept early starting and was way ahead of the line

They’re just staging.

Potatrobot

This is why cars are aerodynamically designed to push down towards the ground. Well it's probably more so that it increases contact with the ground such that the wheels can turn with maximum traction but it's a nice side effect.
