  • The Holmatro Safety Team & IHRA Safety Safari are the best in auto racing. The best can make a rare mistake even with all the training. A crew member was suspended 2 events for not following team protocols. If you want to see calamity and potential for serious injury and disaster, watch the video of Montoya's car hitting the jet dryer at Daytona. INDY was upset over the 38 second response @ this fire. Count the mins and other mistakes on that one. NASCAR still refuses to have a dedicated team.

  • Boy, those guys are usually so good and well-rehearsed, but this was THE worst job I have every seen by a safety crew.

  • better stay in the kitchen....

  • @LOVE4SPEED23 Grow up..

  • @racerx143 NO.

  • *facepalm*

  • Am I supposed to be impressed about these marshals?? What a insane bad reaction and a equipment or use of equipment that was. Makes my blod boil..

  • what the FUCK did I see... the guys from the first emergency car shall be ashamed! Unbeleaveble chaos!

  • everyone on that crew is a fucking idiot,, you can tell they never trained properly!!!

  • they look so carrying. so cute lol 

  • they look so carrying. so cute!! haha

  • they look so carrying. so cute!! haha

  • This has to be the worst response to an accident by an Indy Car Safety Crew that I've seen in 30 years, or more. The Safety Trucks should be already rolling before the car even comes to a stop. WHAT WERE THESE MINDLESS RETARDED BUFFOONS THINKING? For the best part 15 seconds they just stood there and watched it burn.......it was nothing short of pathetic.

  • This wouldn't happen in F1

  • Its a shame of countries don't follow British marshals, as they are regarded as the best in the world, its a simple system of if you don't know what your doing, stand back, let someone else that can do it get on with it

  • Those marshalls are utter incompetents (not to say RETARTED), this safety deficiency looked the way F1 crashes involving fire in the 70's were handled... but that was more than 30 years ago!

  • OMG these people are there to help. WTF retards

  • These people should watch 1000 times the crash of Gerhard Berger in 1989 at Imola where fire fighters took 16sec(!!) to start the first extinguisher!!!!

  • @kreutzere Nicely put! :)

  • safety team is so slow. three ppl just to set up hose? lols.

  • JC, one incident like this in the IRL is all I can think of for the safety team failing to do their job...and it's the one incident that EVERY ONE OF YOU jump all over them. Just like when Wheldon died...IRL was the most exciting racing in the WORLD...now EVERYBODY who questioned it before has their excuse as to why it shouldn't be a series anymore.

    Rock on IRL, You will always be the greatest racing series in my book!!!

  • @drewski31683

    That´s not the point! IRL, Indycar, F3000, whatever...

    The point is the whole safety system in american safety crews are a joke! These scenes look like obsolete response from F1 fire crews in the 60s!!! More than 50 years ago!!!

    Is that difficult to put TRAINED marshalls with proper fire equipment all over the track instead of stupid Pick up trucks with systems that arent even reliable???

    The Montoya crash in this years Daytona´s is another: jet fuel in a race track??

  • shes dead ??

  • @DoAnything4Fun No she was out of the car

  • ***puts sunglasses on*** Looks like she brought the kitchen with her.

  • SOO FUCKING STUPID AND INCOMPETENTS PEOPLE.

    ITS NO A JOKE

  • yea just leave the driver burning there.. and take your time on the hose.. ..

  • Wow look at those fire crew unprepared and dumb thinking. Only one of their fire crew was smart enough to go help the race driver.

  • ok so the first 4 people arrives at the scene 3 of them decides to prepare some coffee and one of them appearantly the wisest of them goes n see ooh there is a burning driver there lets save him first......!

  • @musefoos10 They do have a quick release system. Sometimes the impact makes it hard to get out of the car. Honestly I don't know what happened, 99% of the time the travelling safety crew is on it's A game.

  • @musefoos10 Well. what the hell did you want them to do? Let her burn while the others were fumbling around with the safety equipment? At least she wouldn't go to her grave paralyzed I guess.

  • @musefoos10 Her restraint clips had melted together.

  • i think the tv guy with his last ten secs seals the deal on that first guy to the car losing his job

  • did she die?

  • Fucking idiots! one of them gets an extinguisher... then decides not to use it! stupid, stupid, stupid...

  • IDIOTS

    

  • Hang them..

  • The Fat Safety Worker Had The Fire Extinguisher, Run FatBoy RUN!!!!

  • I love those stunts, especially with fire.

    Do more of those, and the stadium will always be sold-out!

  • Didn't the fire hose fail? 

  • Looked like fuckin amateur hour !

  • Comment removed

  • Americans shouldn´t even touch Motorsports -_-

  • Comment removed

  • @gnapalm xD

  • @TheV12ferrari sure! finally! i agree with you, my mortal enemy!....americans shouldn't touch motorsports!!! they must keep on fat belly games and base ball players idols and his "WORLD series baseball", jackass movies, low budget porn, chewingg tobbacco, etc...... :P

  • @gnapalm fucking foreginer piss of shit, are racing isbetter

  • @gnapalm Who do you think you are to call us fat? i bet you have never even seen the sunlight and i know some people from england and etc countrys that are gkad we show this and your just a dumbass punk looking for attention

  • @blackops39098 glad*

  • hey maybe they're just trying to cut back on using thier fire safety equipment...

  • Indy car safety team sucks balls compared to what CART had.

    Bunch of incompetent assholes

  • Only one guy out of that whole crew that actually does something, if he wasn't there that lady would of been very badly burnt or dead.

  • what tha fuck r they doin???shess burning alive and those fuckers are like..``hey whats the russhh??life is beautiful take your time``... jeeeeesss.....

  • that safety crew should be sacked 

  • Rescue team did well, I think the issue was do we hose it now, or get him out and then do it

  • RESCUE TEAM SUCKS

  • what a bunch of idiots stupid emergency crew dumb ass mother fu...

  • por que no podia salir del coche ah? que se demoro tanto?

  • they performed this bad because they were gropping her and didn't want to put the fire out fast and get her out fast because they wanted as much time as possible to grope her.

  • That car better have a fuckin kitchen in it.

  • u see aallll the tech goes to dogs when u have bloody sissies working'em..

  • Hey guys...It's the same crew...they travel from race to race with the teams. Unlike nascar where the track hires its own crew. Obviously there was something wrong (human or mechanical) with the hose system. In the end they got the driver out and as I recall she was pretty much uninjured. Obviously the equipment and procedures were reviewed and tested in the aftermath as well.

  • What a bunch of morons. What's wrong with a bloody great foam extinguisher with an on/off switch...?

  • profissionais lerdos du caraiiiiiiiiii , vao si fude

  • 100% completely unexcusable. You have two guys jacking off the hose. One guy who has a hand held, but he doesn't know how to use it and one guy trying to get the driver out. These guys look completely untrained and unorganized. Completely embarrassing

  • 0:08 - 0:12 An interesting choice of words...

  • You all are a bunch of idiots. Agreed the crew panicked a bit when the trucks hose failed to initiate, but they still got her out of the car with minimal injury by sticking with her. I've seen NASCAR and F1 safety crews take minutes to get to cars, while IndyCar crews arrive mere seconds after an accident. Enough with the trolling. (Especially F1 fans, we all know your race Marshals suck ass when it comes to crash response, I'd love to see them cover that same distance on foot)

  • @Corew1n

    Minutes? No you haven't. News flash, NASCAR crews are stationed at the same points around the track as the Indy crews.

  • Fire extinguisher´s dont exist in the USA? The idea is burning the pilot for more show??

  • absolute joke indy car should be banned!!!!

  • @northfleetyido21 how intelligent

  • indy car sucks!

  • AFTER THE DUMB BASTARDS YANK HER OUT RISKING HURTING HER, THEN THEY OUT THE FIRE OUT.

  • THIS CREW AINT WORTH A FUCK.....BETTER PRACTICE UP ASSHOLES

  • very lucky, that "rescue" attempt was a joke. reeks of 1970s F1, think poor roger williamson....

  • I'm sorry, this makes me farking sick.....The one guy with a hand held unit (fark those base station type units) moved like a 70 year old. Young, fit, highly trained crews with a B plan is what is needed here, not this...not this....fuck this.

  • Add to that, the extinguisher is like a water pistol! Where's the big cloud of suppressant? Watch F1, two guys would have had that fire out in no time.

  • WHAT THE HECK IS THIS? A bunch of idiots? First they take their time, then mess with hoses like incompetents, then another incompetent can't even operate a fire extinguisher? And then the 2nd crew arrives and is equally incompetent?

    Forget the stupid hoses, a few people with fire extinguishers should have been enough to suppress it and get the driver out. Then play fireman with hoses.

    This is just unbelievable! Fire the organizers!

  • @malamagr U Mad?

  • @malamagr they gotta make it smashy fine on the screeen u c!!

  • @malamagr i am sure you could do better right? they got her out didnt they? and how did they take their time? they got to the car 6 seconds after it came to a stop, the first guy got to her within 3 seconds of them stopping, the only reason they couldnt get her out faster was because of the head restraint, and like the guy said, its difficult to get out of those cars, now unless you can do better, i suggest you just keep quiet.

  • @ChapelOvBlood The point everyone is making is that the fire trucks were there and yet the flames were still raging. If the fire is out then they can work on freeing here. They shouldn't have to be yanking her out of the car if she'd just had an inpact with the barriers. You need extinguishers not hose pipes to get the fire out then you can make sure she hasn't been hurt in the impact.

  • Comment removed

  • I wouldn't entirely blame the entire fire emergency team, just the one that allowed the truck that didn't have a working hose to be allowed to drive that day.

  • the second emergency car got ready faster than the first one....

  • Should have just got the toasting forks out and roasted some chestnuts while they waited for the proper fire crew to turn up..

  • f*cking amateurs FIRST TRY TO PUT THE FLAMES OUT ASSWHIPES

  • I had to check this, from the time the door opens on the safety vehicle to the time the first extinguisher hits the car its 34 seconds! And whats ever more stupid is that it looks like the handheld was enough to nearly completely put the fire out! Thet coulda got a hand held onto that fire within 10 seconds of the safety rig stopping, 34 was a joke!

  • This was a joke, if there was 4 guys in the car, two could try work the hose and the other two could use 2 hand helds ? So then the person in the car gets immediate attention, not like the situation you see here where they go hmm, lets send 20 seconds trying to get the hose working!

  • i was screaming at my TV when this was going on. youd think after roger williamson, that no one would lapse in fire safety

  • Women

  • that takes the piss, she's lucky to be alive, the fire crew should be fired!!

  • This was the worst I've ever seen from an IndyCar emergency crew - normally the finest in racing. Can't think of any excuse for the confused initial behavior upon the crew's arrival - and the ineffective responses afterwards. ... pretty embarrassing, and potentially tragic.

  • @daveinindy it was because the fire hose failed, there was no water pressure. Otherwise it would have been just a routine incident.

  • @daveinindy -- Indianapolis Motor Speedway's crew is by far the best at this. They are leaving before there is even a crash

  • How slow are these guys getting the extinguishers on that car....incredible!

  • Stupid Americans

  • Look at the video @49:00, ... the Firemen couldnt even seem to turn on the HOSE ? what the heck kinda nonsense is that? It should very easy to turn on, and the liquid should spreay out almost instantaneous !

  • With that skill, those firefighters could not extinguish a damn cigar........ poor chick!

  • @DerekYeray HAHAHAHAHA YEAAAAH

  • Well you're all fired...

  • If you race in Indy or F1 you are on your own when you crash.

    The (so-called) Safety Crews have allowed a LOT of Drivers to suffer FAR worse injuries than were necessary.

    Even with all the (Expensive, Sponsored) equipment they are still not reliable.

    And the equipment itself is fancy but badly designed.

    Having to watch Roger Williamson burn to death in '73 when he could have easily been saved should have been a wake-up call...but it was not.

    Conditions have not really improved.

  • Very poor choice of equipment, Layflat hose that has to be fully laid out before use, cheap use of water jet extinguishers with a bit of AFFF or Cold Fire in rather than buying ones with the correct spray or aspirating nozzle, no first strike capability. neither trucks hose line was rapidly deployable & neither got used, it took someone with a small dry chem to save the day. In motorsport you should use dry chem for rapid knockdown & then AFFF to cool & secure against reignition

  • well done to the 1 guy who though instead of tryna sort the hose out ill go help the person! 0:40

  • Comment removed

  • Look at those CEA men, in Imola (Italy) in 1989 (22 years ago) in occasion of the Gerhard Berger accident at the Tamburello Corner !!

    watch?v=rd8q5HoBzOA

  • OMG!

    I'd sue every single fucker on that racetrack. What were they thinking? Just looking at those prehistoric fire extinguishers drives me crazy. Combine it with unprepared idiots trying to use them and you're set for mayhem. Unbe-fuckin-lievable!

    That's another major difference to F1. In the F1 season, no matter which track, you'd never see such amateurish bullshit. They have real extinguishers and trained personnel to get the job done when every second counts.

    Poor Indy Car drivers...

  • @atheismo It appears clearly your agenda here was not to actually observe what was going on, or consider the highly trained and highly skilled members of the IRT safety team, but to further your preferred F1 agenda. I like to watch F1 racing as well as NASCAR and Indy Car. Your comments are ridiculous if you have read any of the previous comments. There was a malfunction on the first fire vehicle, that's all. No amateurs, no idiots, and the use of an old can extinguisher until the 2nd truck.

  • @covewatcher

    Highly trained? Highly skilled? My ass...

  • @atheismo yeah those f1 saftey crews really are great.... as i watch the live video of Senna's fatal crash and it takes them how long to remove him from the car and get him air lifted out? inbetween that time they got him laying on the track bleeding out.

  • wow, about 20 seconds new record. XD

  • Look back to davey hamilton's crash when they were there right away. U kidding me.Took them 5 mintues to even shoot water out that hose

  • Id he get hurt >?

  • y was there a hose instead of an extinguisher ?

  • @k9complex The new fire/rescue pick ups the Indy car safety teams are using have a fire retardent tank built in with a limited amount of fire retardent on board. To increase the volume of retardent to put on a fire, they use hoses. You might notice if you look closely, that one of the men did have a fire extinguisher in use as they were pulling her out, but you can also see just how miniscule the stream is compared to the volume of fire. When the 2nd hose works, you see the fire disappear.

  • @covewatcher thanks just feels like this is the only time i have seen it

  • Haha there is no excuse for that. As far as that comment goes.....unless the driver is dead? Yea they would all be in trouble then. They are not there to inflict more damage they are supposed to prevent it when something goes wrong, I'm happy to see she got out

  • ok i dont know what kind of mechanical failure took the extinguisher down/and how long it takes to realize-and eventually grab a hand extinguisher to put out that fire..it was ok there was another team close by but could have gone wrong..good move to quickly chat if theres any injury and then pull her out..

  • @Spionsilver I am a retired firefighter. Two things: First, if you look, they did have a fire extinguisher operating at the time they were pulling her out. The volume of fire was too great for a can. You will notice the 2nd hose did knock the fire down well. Secondly, you are right to usually talk before moving a person to assess injuries, but when threatened by fire, they actually did the right thing by trying to unfasten the head restraint and steering wheel and yank her out of there.

  • Two things went wrong,fire hoes didn't work and the guy in the blue was wondering WTF is going on then the other guy had so much trouble trying to get her out of the car...I hope they do better next time.

  • @BJC20199 Actually one thing went wrong, the first fire truck malfunctioned. These people are color coded. If I am not mistaken (and on here someone will point it out immediately if I am) the people in the orange/red suits are the firefighter/rescue people, and the guy in blue is a medic. I know the guy in blue was holding the nozzle, and he looked like "WTF" because the truck malfunctioned. You will notice he was actually the guy assessing her once they got her out and over to the side.

  • @covewatcher -you're right....red are the fire man.blue are the EMT and the people in yellow(at lease in nascar)are the track workers who clean the track after an accident occur.

  • That girls ass is to big to be pulled out

  • Hate to break it to you, but the sport WOULD still be around if she died. People have died racing Indy Cars in the past. This wouldn't have been the first.

  • A couple of observations for information: First, there was a mechanical failure on the first truck on scene which would not dispense the retardent agent, thus the appearance of incompetence. It was not. Secondly, the Indy racing safety teams travel the circuit with the drivers. They are actually VERY highly trained, and expert at fire suppresion, extracation and emergency medical treatment. This was a fluke due to a mechanical malfunction. Don't assume they suck based on this video.

  • @covewatcher I agree with you. The emerg. tach team is there cause they are the best. the driver is alive and no body can say shit about it unless the driver is dead. good job medics.It is stressful dealing with crash fire lives smoke speed timing and most of all crazy people watching you try to deal with it.

  • Malosovich, as I understand it, the right hand clip on the head restraint was on fire, which meant they couldn't remove it, and thus had the trouble getting her out.... The delay in the fire foam stuff was just moronic IMHI

  • Fire crew might actually need training.....you cant just stick a guy in a truck and tell him he's a firefighter without knowing the equipment

  • wow,this is fucking SAD

  • 0:54 'Let's get the flames out, retarded here, shall we?' Agree, they're just trying to pull her out with all force (what didn't work that well) and they just let the car burn to ash... If they'd first get out those flames, she could get out easily without any danger.

  • what was the explanation for her not being able to escape? I thought you had to be able to evacuate yourself within 30 seconds? Or is that just f1?

  • Wow, normally Indycar safety teams are there before the crashed car stops moving.  They didn't get any extinguisher on that car until the second safety vehicle pulled up.

  • omg... SO bad

    

  • even the announcers were like, "Guys...what the fuck?"

  • TOTAL IDIOTS

  • they need to train them before they let the marshals loose

  • let the bitch burn fuck her

  • Jesus fucking christ.... What is WRONG with the rescue team ¬¬ !

  • 0:39 hero !

  • This rescue team sucks big time

    

  • Abusé les pompier de la 1ère voiture qui arrive sur place!!! Y'en a qu'un seul qui court et qui s'inquiète pour le pilote. Les autres sortent une lance ou ya rien qui en sort. Même pas un extincteur rien O_o

  • @Argolias1 Grave, le mec qui fonce dans les flammes il connait son métier, lui ... j'en ai déjà vu plein reculer d'une voiture après avoir vu deux flammes parce que c'est trop chaud ... Si ce gars n'était pas venu, le mec serait cramé et sans doute gravement blessé.

  • Let's be honest here... If she wasn't so chunky she coulda been outta there a lot faster.

  • @AwesomeDC1 Hey ya try long enuff sooner or later yur gonna be right ;-)

    Cheers

  • Shouldn't they practice by pulling healthy people strapped into intact racecars without the help of the driver? They should probably be able to get this done in half the time or better

  • @AwesomeDC1 And if thats the case then WHY didnt they know the correct procedure to do so? Take the head restraint out first and THEN pull the driver out.

    Getting the driver out is job 1B - KNOWING how to get the driver out is job 1A

  • its the twin 275 this year

  • What a fucking pathetic performance. I I did my job like that, I'd be sacked on the spot. Someone seriously needs to educate that crew, this is clearly unacceptable.

  • NHRA Safety Safari needs to teach these guys how to put out a fire.

  • unbeliveable, If i was the owner i wouldve fired those guys

  • Stupid firemann ! Go and get a new job, loosers!

  • @orientgate "Loosers"????

    I LOVE IRONY!

  • It is AGONY watching this video.

  • This is a joke or what?

    These people have a fire hose that looks like a garden hose...

    Imagine in a accident with several cars on fire what will they do?

    WATCH THE FLAMES KILL THEM ALL?

    GIVE A BREAK PEOPLE...

    Let's not be greedy and spend a few buck on safety...

    With a couple hundred buck you can get some decent equipment at Harbor Freight...

  • As a Firefighter and EMT, this does prove that there was a lack of communication between the rescue personel. each member needs to know what their job is once they arrive to the victum. either fire supression or rapid extrication must take place, guys cant just be running around frantic and excited. do you think a garbage man gets excited when he sees garbage around the corner? no its their job, so these guys must keep their adrenaline in check and stick to their SOP's

  • @BFrank326 While I agree I have to say the garbage man analogy is a bit of a stretch....

  • They had enough crew to do both. extinguish the fire and another rescuer pull her out. This is unbelievable in todays Indy Car racing. This would be a Great training film to use for new rescue personnel.

  • For fuck sake are you dumbass's just going to stand there as driver burns to death right front of you??????????? I hope every single of these RETARDS! was not only fired but made to pay very big fine and do community service.

  • 3 of those so called 'rescue personnel' are obviously well past retirement age...

  • Try putting the fire out first then get her out...

  • someone didn't check their fire equipment. whipping the checkout sheets

  • I can't believe it took her so long to get out of the car, watch the video of heikki kovalainen's "fire" in F1 and compare the time difference in the two getting out of their cars, either indy need to sort out their quick release system or something is wrong with the one on simona's car, the fire marshals could of been quicker but its not their fault regards how long it took her to get out of the car.

  • "that's not good!"

  • fire fighting fail on an epic scale

  • Not commenting on the hose trouble etc., but I've come across situations where teams taped the kevlar protection in place, instead of the 2 easy to pull out pins, making quick rescue in situations liks these impossible. Team's fault in that case, but it's always the safety crew who gets beat up over it... Wondering why it's so difficult to find volunteers for race tracks these days? Cos everyone knows better, but nobody wants the responsibility...

  • if i were simona i would have punched those guys in their faces after i got out!!!

  • wow complete fail. Not just the crews fault, whoever came up with the procedure of using a hose instead of a portable FE is also at fault. This thing was fail from start to finish.

  • A total disgrace. Why are they even screwing with some overly complicated hose anyway? 3 big old fashioned, reliable chemical extiguisers per truck. People who know how to pull a pin and point. Solved.

    If 3 chemical extiguishers can't put it out long enough to extract the driver, its a hopless situation anyway. Fucking amateur hour. I'm glad I missed this race. I would have been pissed all day.
