A great illustration of how well the survival cell and anti-rollover hoop protected the driver whilst so much energy was absorbed (and released) elsewhere.

3D simulation of Kubica’s crash…
F1Fanatic links to a simulation of Robert Kubica’s huge Montreal crash, created by RTL. An interesting watch, although the crash isn’t any less wince-inducing as a simulation.

Reported 75g value cannot be correct. May 7.5g is what he may have experienced. Above 16g, he wouldn’t have survived.

Plenty of people have survived impacts when the G forces were momentarily way above 16g. David Purley survived something in the order of 168g.

In CART (now Champ Car) ex-F1 drivers like Mauricio Gugelmin and Mark Blundell survived crashes with G-forces measured in hundreds.

This message is for the massively ignorant Khurram. If you got your facts straight mate, you will find that David Purley endured 179.8g in a crash in Silverstone in 1977, and survived, so basically this portays you as an extremely ignorant person.
