[dak1lla1]

@2011ceycey dumbass

[DeejayErez]

@2011ceycey wow dude...

[Ospif1]

I hope those that believe he was somehow supposed to die never reproduce, we don't need your genes to continue on this earth after you. Thanks.

[bobalose3and88]

did the tire land on his head?

[xXbestefarXx]

@bobalose3and88 Yupp, saw it live on telly

[BadazzMuthafukaMyNiq]

So the tire broke his neck??

[anthonyd5189]

@BadazzMuthafukaMyNiq Severe head injuries.

[schurkraid]

das es sowas gibt? konnte der net iwie 50 cm daneben fliegen nein er muss aufn kopf landen ich versteh das unglück net .

[afa1515]

@schurkraid Nun was gibts da nicht zu verstehen? Auch wenn der Motorsport immer sicherer wird, die offenen Cockpits sind immer noch eine Schwachstelle. Manchmal geht es gut, manchmal passiert sowas.

RIP

[schurkraid]

@afa1515 ja aber sowas liegt nur um paar sekunden wär der vllt nur 1 sekunde später oder früher dareingekracht hätte es ihn net getroffen . darum versteh ich die zufälle nicht.

[sparkygl0s]

@bicksters1

Isn't it more heartless to give a like to a video showing somebody die?

[randytosh]

poor man  godbless him

[t8035]

these guy r putting their lives n great danger. f1 is to dangerous. i was nascar but i like the speed n f1. i really liked the move Senna, they did a great job putting tha movie together. watching the documentary it never dawned to me that Senna was goin to died.

[omnipotentbeing]

@t8035 Wrong. F1 is the safest motor sport now. There have been a LOT of improvements in recent years, for one, wheels are now tethered to the car so they do not come off and do what happened in this vid.

[TimWFishes]

@omnipotentbeing Except this wheel broke it's tether.

[omnipotentbeing]

@TimWFishes Yeah. F1 introduced a second wheel tether for the 2011 season to improve safety. It's sad - Henry was only 18.

[BLEZGYI]

john must be heartbroken..

[astarbarx]

RIP Henry. How sad.

[tedbarsalou]

oh come on, that wasn't a fatal blow. perhaps he had a heart attack. did they every do an autopsy??

[babejunky]

@tedbarsalou Let's drop a tire on your head when you're travelling flat out down a straight and see if you still think 'that wasn't a fatal blow.'

[Khazar01]

@tedbarsalou Remember what happened to Felipe Massa when he was struck by a rather small suspension spring? Well Henry was struck by an entire wheel.

[EpicMoz]

@Khazar01 That's a mass of about 30Kg's of pure rubber, not to mention the fact it hit him while he was doing about 160 Mph aswell. He must have lost conciousnness with his Foot still down on the gas, because the rear wheel was still spinning. poor guy :(

[Khazar01]

@EpicMoz Very true, I even recon that it's possible that the impact could have broken his neck.....maybe didn't happen, but it's possible.....

[EpicMoz]

@Khazar01 It is possible, it would definitely have caused massive trauma.The official announcement says he died of severe head and neck injuries, although they managed to stabilize him in hospital for a while. A broken neck will have been very likely due to the angle of the impact, his head wouldnt have simply gone back into the headrest, which his helmet would have given some protection against. it would have been taken to the side with the wheel as it hit him. I Wouldnt wish it on anyone :(

[omnipotentbeing]

@EpicMoz In the modern world, we don't use the old fashioned Miles per hour. It's KPH.

[EpicMoz]

@omnipotentbeing haha, i see :)

[sgtwar777]

did the driver died? ?????/ ;(

[kalon360]

I was told formula 1 car's wheels were attached to the frame with tether.

[ausingtv]

@kalon360 they are, but this isnt F1

[EpicMoz]

@kalon360 well, this wasn't Formula 1, it was formula 2 but you're right, they are connected by tether. the speed that the car hit the barricade would have destroyed the tether though, and the deflection it took was unlucky as hell, just sailed into Henry's path and then hit him

[Drigges1]

RIP

[mitchelgrimes]

RIP

[vaIf14]

RIP.

[Falador321]

May he rest in peace but what a terrible way to die.

[xXTropicalTacoXx]

@Falador321 i agree but at least he was doing what he loved and it was quick. R.I.P.

[brw147]

It's weird watching that video and knowing that at that exact second Surtees ceased to exist in this world.

[jowen2c]

That looks faike

[Knom14]

@jowen2c fake?? fake?? I'm german and it really happend he's death no fake!!!!

[6694777]

Cela ne s'invente pas, il faut le faire...

[quaxk]

shit happen

[VR38DETTMAN]

Holy shit! That fuck up!

[tsumayouji50pon]

Thanks Henry, you are great driving.He wanted to shine in F1.

[FourLoko619]

Did it kill the guy?

[Knom14]

@FourLoko619 yes later in hospital

[M4xima]

i feel really bad for that formula driver i hope he's ok now

[baileys60]

@M4xima do you know what fatal means?

[Knom14]

@baileys60 it means very very strange

[baileys60]

@Knom14 I'm yet to meet a person who walked away from a fatal crash

[Knom14]

@M4xima no he is death dude he died in hospital

[FormulaVid]

How can people make jokes on the comments?

[alanespana1]

@FormulaVid They are sick in the head, that's why! Anybody making sick comments like these should be banned from YouTube, simple!

[renegadehockey27]

Sleeping on the wheel. Tsk Tsk Tsk.

[hornetsnest001]

It looked like the second guy pulled over because he was tired!

[lukelexi123]

@hornetsnest001 lol

[TheKorey20002]

@hornetsnest001 morally thats not funny but im pissing myself laughing. witty mate lol

[81Brera]

That fucking wheel had millions of places to go, and unfortunately went over surtees head! Goddam!

But why don't they use a system that prevents wheels from flying away from the cars on accidents?

[bohl80]

@81Brera you cant prevent every part from breaking off at high speeds. whether it was the tire or the bumper, there is no way to prepare for every possibilty. its just bad luck, karma, destiny, or whatever you feel like calling it.

[Sniper101911]

Omg

[faker188]

nea fukaj



[xskoobastevex]

i dont speak german but understood this im pretty sure it said the driver that hit the tree suffered minor injuries but the tyre hitting the other guy caused serious injury or fatality

[chicken54209]

@xskoobastevex you could of just read the title

lol...

[modestfrancis]

damn that dude had shitty luck. RIP Henry surtees

[motox766]

Sad deal !!!these guys put it on the line though!!!!

[MrDanricho]

his last words dam these tires are doin my head in

[gunggerdin1]

@MrDanricho You are a retard.

[MrDanricho]

@gunggerdin1 look at ur name its fkn gay as aids what where u trying to spell cuz?

[gunggerdin1]

@MrDanricho Retard, sorry I took so long to reply. Sadly these pages are infested by shite, such as you, that have no respect, even when this driver has lost his life in the most unfortunate of circumstances. My name, well you thick twat, out with the History books, if you can read. I have no intention of replying to any thing else you print, so fill your boots you thick, retarded, uneducated, disrespectful piece of dog shite, cuz!

[MrDanricho]

@gunggerdin1 u are the retard shut the fuck up its not worth fighting with some fag over the internet

[TheLloydA1]

@MrDanricho Not funny

[Dariusz31]

this reminds me final destination

[MrKaddan]

And the poor guy who lost his life? :/

[Bollalillo]

ehm okay well, jawhol?

[JellyD78]

@ragingrainbowprod

LOL! I know, right? I was thinking that before I saw the comments. WTF?

[Ragingrainbowprod]

i somehow understood this and idont even speak german... wtf?

[TheDobleEE]

There's only one way to explain this... FINAL DESTINATION.

When is time, is time...

[Gravelrally1]

@TheDobleEE This isn't a movie. Have some respect or piss off.

[TheDobleEE]

@Gravelrally1 And if you and your 8 followers don't wanna see the reality, i suggest you guys to watch the scene from Benjamin Button Film called "Benjamin Button. Daisy´s leg". Watch it and then you'll understand what i'm talking about.

[Gravelrally1]

@TheDobleEE Now you're sounding like you're part of some extremist cult that actually does believe in movies, which are NOT real life even if it could be based on a true story. There are actors and it's scripted. Understand?

[TheDobleEE]

@Gravelrally1 Don't get me wrong, is not that hard to understand. I'm not a "movie freak" it's just a simply and easy way to explain it. I'm a photographer and i worked for a year with the Firefighters of my city taking pictures of the emergencies and their job. And in that time i realized that things just happen because they are meant to be. I saw many people die in front of me just because everything match perfectly so this person won't live anymore.

[TheDobleEE]

@Gravelrally1 It's kinda freak and scarry, i know. But this is just how i learned to understand death since my experience with the Firefighters. You see a horrible car accident where the person came out without a scratch and in the other hand you see how someone died because he or she stepped on the soap and felt in the bathtub. Just face it, it's a probabilistic thing, not just bad luck

[TheDobleEE]

@Gravelrally1 Is just incredible how the tire came out of that car and hitted exactly in the wrong place. A second before or a second after would've end up in a simple accident with no sad ending of a young life.

[Gravelrally1]

@TheDobleEE Well everyone has their own theories but if you really think that Surtees died because he was supposed to, then nobody's stopping you. I just say that he was the perfect example of how someone could be at the worst place at the worst time. Because of gravity.

[TheDobleEE]

@Gravelrally1 EXACTLY!!!! That's the point. Something put him at the wrong place in the wrong time. That's why i gave you the Bejamin Button scene example because it explains it perfectly. It's just the scene that shows you a life situation not that i believe in what Holliwood actors says.

[TheDobleEE]

@Gravelrally1 Thanks for the comment my friend. This is a nice topic, but too deep for me LOL

[carsismeZ06]

@TheDobleEE I cannot believe you said that.

[shadow6687]

@carsismeZ06 i think he used wrong words but it's sadly true.

doesnt matter when, how, who etc if it happens nothing can change that

RIP

[XxSiiCkXKiilZxX]

like if u agree, u could tell he was dead when his car veered into the tires offroad :(

[chargrilledawesome]

@XxSiiCkXKiilZxX Like whore.

[bryan4175]

@386rio

When u are that guy I gonna laught.

R.I.P Surtees

[gr00vechamp]

Wikipedia confirms that the head injury Henry sustained from the tire that flew off of Jack Clarke's car was fatal. R.I.P

[987jasy]

was it the tyre or the suspension strut that caused the death of the driver?

[jim1bonacci2]

he not die.but fainting on race!

[arthur11199]

he is die?



[NoDoubtsss]

how unlucky can you be

[DBOwnz]

@386rio u think this is funny?

[takio4]

@386rio fucking dumbass

[ikmal017]

@386rio respect that driver he's DEAD!

[FastKart27]

His helmet didn't look damaged at all though?

[FrowningIke]

@FastKart27 It doesn't matter. A 100lb tire hitting you at 160 mph? The helmet won't do a thing in that situation. It causes massive trauma.

[burjkhalifa98]

@FastKart27 are you retarded? even with a helmet the tire could break his neck at that impact...

[kakaulale]

@FastKart27 the helmet maybe looks okay...it just same as massa who has been hit by flying part from barichello's car

[yudaimassa]

Henry Surtees, 1991年2月18日 - 2009年7月19日

[SuperMoto24rm]

rip from italy



[gustcba]

lamentable muerte, pero en los autos de fórmula, la cabeza del piloto tan expuesta, da lugar a accidentes mortales como este y muchos que ocuerrieron antes. Algo hay que hacer al respecto gente de la FIA, por el bien del deporte y sobre todo por el bien de los pilotos, que es defender la vida misma..(alguna protecciòn extra sobre el cockpit tal vez??)

[ILOVEMUCK74]

Unlucky pilot!!! There are too many ways to risk the death for a pilot... But this one is almost unreal i must say.

[thelDelta]

18 FUCKING YEARS

[birdydeathPSN]

headshot!

[Lachlan1662]

@birdydeathPSN Don't be such an arse That man died and you are making jokes? Grow up.

[takio4]

@birdydeathPSN fucking idiot

[birdydeathPSN]

@takio4 thank you!

[SPECTRE9200]

Wheel tethers aren't in F2? WTF!

[FireStormBravo]

It looks like he died on impact because he was just bouncing around inside the cockpit, probably because his neck was broken.

[PS3GameProductions]

Hopefully he died on impact, nobody deserves to go like that while suffering intense pain. R.I.P Henry.

[xXbestefarXx]

Saw this live. Feels good man.

[JustDutch123]

is he dead?

[pocketdynamo87]

@JustDutch123 Don't you know what the word fatal means?

[jdizzle117]

uhhh... wut?

[mikehuntingdon1]

Absolutely shocking header. 1. He barely jumps of the ground. You are taught from an early age to rise up and meet the tyre mid air. 2. He puts no direction on it whatsoever. he really needs to be looking at angling it towards the run off areas so the other traffic doesnt hit it. 3. there is no distance on the header whatsoever, terrible defensive header which could have left his team mates in a whole world of trouble. To quote alan hansen "Shocking"

[KyprosXD]

TREE'S FAULT !

[miguelfreitas1991]

i thought he wheels and hubs were tethered to the car

[VColossalV]

@Logan75544 erm im pretty sure it would be more dangerous to have a cage since they would not be able to escape if there were an emergency.

[malehousecat]

Well Masa, give God thanks for the spring you got to the head.

[4wheelerDJ]

How much do those tires weigh? Terrible flute accident.

[questionablesight]

I only liked this because it was a legit video....R.I.P

[spetycat]

wow that was a one in a billion hit... RIP

[Thiseas16]

OH MY GOD..THE TIRE HIT HIM ON HIS HEAD??RIP MAN..SO SAD;/

[soundspur]

Very unlucky for any driver but especially for son of an F1 and Moto GP World champion his Dad John Surtees – Henry Surtees a promising prospect and potentially a future F1 great. Ridiculous for the usual geniuses to come out saying the cockpit should be covered with a roof etc etc. What are the chances of this happening? 1 in millions? It never happened before OK? Clearly the tyre hit in the exact wrong spot and angle and his neck was broken instantly and the car just continued driverless.

[Keskorion]

yes he dies :(

[unknowngente]

so what did he exactly say?

[PaintKyZR]

That's terrible :/ i bet the driver of the other car feels so guilty.

[trd88noz]

@PaintKyZR it was an accident.. if that tire came off my car i'd feel sorry, really sorry. but cant feel guilty. there might be something he could had done to not spin then crash in that angle, but there was nothing he could do to not let a broken-off wheel to launch that way. yet to have Henry right there just in time to hit it. it was time for him to go.

[atishraja]

lol this is so funny, the cameraman thought he was going to turn, he just went straight! xD

[toma23rulz]

@atishraja no this is not funny a driver was just killed

[atishraja]

@toma23rulz Really? That makes even funnier xD

[airbeamer]

@atishraja Too bad YOU weren't driving shithole.

[atishraja]

@airbeamer Only retards drive that fast jizzlips!

[mrmomy123]

@Logan75544 I totally Agree...

[InSaNeNuKeBoY]

Reminds me of Sennas crash :'(

[oldsnakestillrocks]

@InSaNeNuKeBoY yeah although luckily we never saw the actual impact of the tyre (and piece of suspension) against Senna's head,the thought was upsetting enough,the force of Surtees' impact in comparison to what Senna's would've been looks like nothing,it's very sad it had the same effect

[Austinflank]

Man, that really sucks. I actually feel sorry for that guy.

[paulrozy]

wow that sucks

[Rquez1]

final destination?? :(

[TheMozes555]

:-(

[coolkidsk8ter]

he died?

[Feramit]

@coolkidsk8ter

My German is pretty bad but im quite sure he said that he died of his head injuries at the hospital.

[pocketdynamo87]

@Feramit You're absolutely right.

[ursuss100]

@Feramit yes, he was flown to London Royal hospital and died like an hour after.

[GangPatt]

@coolkidsk8ter

Yes.

[thesiknik]

Seriously vvvvvv ropes on the wheels?

[washingtonboy1986]

lol headshot +150

[MrSporty17]

@washingtonboy1986 freagen arsehole i hope u get killed fool
