Lots of high performance cars driven at high speeds with lots of men high on testosterone means a) lots of fun, and b) a very big Health Hazard.
We've witnessed some pretty horrific crashes in motorsport; witness Mark Webber's stratospheric accident at the European GP. Yet despite this constant desensitisation, we still remain largely, erm, sensitive to it.
Especially when it looks like this:
ALMS racer Luke Hines was overtaken at the Mosport raceway in Canada last month but was clipped; a move that sent his Porsche racer straight into the guardrail - and very nearly through it.
Luckily, he emerged without injury.

I was at that race and when it happened I was walking between corners and the recovery truck drove by. damage to the guardrail stopped the race early :( but man that was a bad looking car after the fact

Impressive that he could walk away so quickly AND that he didnt get hit by a Corvette when he bounced back onto the track. What is really lucky though, is that the wheel that came off didnt end up through someone's windscreen...
