2000 MonacoGP Camera Accident

[harrunostasj]

That's a real "Yahoo!"

[alienkishorekumar]

It's not final destination?wow!

[LegoDalejr2488]

BOOM HEADSHOT!

[Spaarkypaark]

@Rcby525 Yeah sounds about right, lost of power then loss of all the toy's they had then(TC/ABS) is prob the reason he crashed in the 1st place, can't remember a whole lot about that race.

@jin12345678 Even so, a modern F1 car idles at about 6k rev's, you would still hear the engine and the old v10's which i think these are may of been more.

[Rcrby525]

this is why almost all parts incudling the wings have wired teathers now.

[Falcbe1983]

@Rcrby525 they already had those back then, they just can't make them 100% its impossible

[happydollar1982]

He will see stars. hahaa

[MisterLeoxD]

[DXMan2330]

0:02 Cameraman: Motherf-

[FPtuotanto]

hey, nothing special, it`s monaco!

[DominarTyranT1]

wow, i've never seen this one before lol.

[Spaarkypaark]

where was the engine sound?

[RTiCreation]

@Spaarkypaark Didn't even realize that until I read your comment.

[jin12345678]

@Spaarkypaark no engine sound. as soon as drivers know they are crashing they are full on the breaks, no power, so they say all becomes suddenly quiet just before the crash.

[Rcrby525]

@Spaarkypaark it died just before the turn, he was trying to controll the car.

[F1FullRace]

awesome! lol!

[Volodeas]

0:03 Hug me!

[SaintBEEP]

[Ferrariman601]

That's why they have wheel teathers now.

[MOOVIEbySEBBI]

NICE DRIFT!!!

[rexuro64]

FELL THE MIGHT OF BRIDGESTONE!!!!

[Adriano48512]

man the prost team sucked

[tylerhargis778]

caution "tea baging tires"

[AtoZ0to9123456]

i wouldve asked if i could keep it

[Liam07Leo]

Hello tire!

[addrei92]

hahahahaha

[mattemily85]

jackpot

[ROONTANG]

Come on guys, the "headshot" comments are pretty fucking low... Marshals and camera men have died from being hit by debris, have some respect.

[adikf1nascar]

BOOM HEADSHOT XD

[swater52]

congratulations!

[RaceKing62]

whoaaadidn't see that coming. lolololol :D

[KoivuTheHab]

@Miggeex How do you know that he was lucky? Where does it say he is ok?

[Miggeex]

@KoivuTheHab Yeah i see your point. My previous comment was pretty stupid when i read it again. I don't know if he's okay or not. Hopefully he is okay.

[Miggeex]

@KoivuTheHab Yeah my previous comment was very stupid. I don't know if he's okay or not but i hope nothing happened to him then.

[Pointrox]

I hope cameraman is alright.

[Hulkstar1991]

der is dead 0:4

[Emowaffle1648]

God it looks very fake!! but i know its real cause i saw it on T.V :)

[Michaelingolfhansen]

Is that a Prost racer?!

Great footage!...flying wheels are so very dangerous!!!

The next season, at the Australian GP some were killed by a flying wheel from the accident with R.Schumacher and Villeneuve!

[Schimansky7]

@Michaelingolfhansen Yes. Nick Heidfeld

[Skinter10]

The camera is LAZY

[fastmclaren71]

See the suspension arm volt the wheel over the barrier.  Wow!

[MPZRACEVIDEO]

Ouuh, hard for the cameraman...

[Taliban4444]

(-*-)

[geedog33]

cameraman must have been tired...

[Blisworthboi]

No one died. it weren't like what happened in australia 2001 :(

[csbr75]

headshot

[thedoctormonster]

@csbr75 haha

[SmeurkeDeKat]

dipshits.. when the camera falls down u clearly see a tripod..

[nickforthetitle]

this is insane. imagine that being the last thing you ever see!

[WhyGenFM3]

@nickforthetitle No one died. But if the last thing I saw was the 2000 Prost I'd be happy enough. Stunning car. Even in a few seperate parts.

[drognoia]

great video

[TheWhupper]

OK enough physics. Why didn't the dumbass camera guy move out the way?

[juxhin000]

because it happened so fast he didnt have time to move

[alexellis38]

watch kubica's crash carefully as well. he was probably on a 55-60 degree angle to the wall. a lot closer to head on than most angles perceived.

[alexellis38]

lol who said several seconds? im not sure how 140km/h - 0 km/h so an average speed of 70 km/h if theres constant negative acceleration in 0.5m translates to several seconds? it's actually is 0.007seconds of negative acceleration. lol several seconds? i'm telling you right now I know what i'm talking about, and 0.01 seconds of G's up to 80G will not harm you. it's not enough time to get any sort of momentum build up in your organs to cause any damage.

[alexellis38]

lol man you have NO IDEA what you're talking about, at all. Robert Kubica pulled 76 G and only sprained his ankle, his ankle had nothing to do with the G, it just got mashed between the snapped throttle pedal and the tub. im not even gonna try to explain to you.

[kedharf1]

Imagine what would have happened if that had hit his head instead of the camera, he would have been dead for sure.

[slayerdearly]

LOL!

[Bambutschenman]

lol  :D

[creatyve]

not really, the camera isn't travelling at 120 mph.

[NialoF2]

Prost should never have signed Peugeot, they killed the team :(

[ChrJahnsen]

That Prost racer is probably the most beautiful car to ever grace the F1 field. So damn pretty!

[kostrzewus]

Yeah, but 1998 version.

[UndignifiedPose]

True! Too bad the Prost team couldn't stay in F1 :(

[Thaswordguy]

so beautiful but so slow ):

[Hamiltoncheater]

hamilton monkey

[lpmv]

I think that guy received a great compensation !!!

work accident !!

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[ChrJahnsen]

I hate Monaco, and sooner or later, we'll see another fatality there. Several have come very close.

I realise it's a huge event and all that, but the track is simply not suitable for racing. It's rather like trying to have a boxing match in a telephone booth.

[dienkonig33]

they know the risks. they have licences.

its a test of skill, and the sport is getting safer all the time.

[alexf1freak]

what is the trouble? F1 is all about risk, danger and skills, Monaco represents this much better than any new Tilke circuit.

Moreover, no driver has been killed there in a GP since 1967, so its safety is not bad

[ChrJahnsen]

The trouble is a completely lack of safety rather than calculated risk. Only sheer luck has prevented more fatalities. Imagine: coming out of the tunnel doing 280 km/h without any run-off area at all - just a barrier, that's it. Wendlinger had that exact accident in 1994, and he was very very lucky.

[creatyve]

yes, in 1994. today, the driver would hop out of the car, swear and go back to the pits. safety has been advanced so much with crumple points and the HANS device that they should just revert all the shit modern tracks to the tracks of the 80's. besides, drivers know the risks, and they've dealt with it their whole career. btw, that 280 thing...kubica was going over 320ish and crashed straight into a barrier in montreal 2007, just a concussion..

[ChrJahnsen]

Sorry, I can't agree with that. Say a rear suspension snaps while a guy is exiting the tunnel doing about 275 - it really doesn't matter what year we're in. If you hit a wall head on doing 200 km/h, you die. Kubica certainly didn't it that Canadian wall head on. Not even close. Had he done that, he would have died.

Of course you're right that cars are even safer now than in 1994, but there are still laws of physics that can't be bent. Hitting a wall head on at 300 km/h is always fatal.

[creatyve]

speaking of this, did you hear what happened to Surtees son? Poor bloke, took a tyre to the head Sunday at Brands Hatch and died.

[ChrJahnsen]

Goodness me, I just found out. That truly sucks. :-(

[alexellis38]

lol thats so terribly wrong. i hit a wall head on doing 140 km/h 2 weeks ago at mosport in a formula bmw car and jumped out of the car. its a shame i kind of knicked my thumb though as the steering wheel snapped around and hit my thumb. i think it was a comparable injury to stubbing a toe on a step, death? not quite. an extra 60 km/h wouldnt cause death.

[ChrJahnsen]

I'm afraid I don't believe you.

Head on at 140 km/h would submit your intestines to something in the vicinity of 60 G, which would tare your organs from your skeleton and damage your brain irreparably.

Hitting the wall at an angle is something entirely different, so let's say you were doing 140 and hit it at 45 degrees - that I would believe, but "head on", i.e. at 90 degrees - no way you would survive it.

[alexellis38]

i'd say it was like... 85 degrees, so head on.. i went from 140 to stopped in 1.5 feet. i pulled 28 G and i'm fine.

[ChrJahnsen]

1,5 feet? Was it a tyre wall?

[alexellis38]

a very thin tire wall, yes.

[82607492]

That speed pretty much was just 40-60 kmh. That wasnt fast.

[ChrJahnsen]

Completely agree. He probably didn't even feel pain.

BTW: This is the Prost AP03 in the 2000 Monaco GP. Red mirrors seem to indicate that this is Nick Heidfeld at the wheel.

[ChrJahnsen]

And I will take that back right away! Turns out that both cars had red mirrors that year unlike in 2001. :-)

However, it does look like Heidfeld's helmet.

[woody988]

@ChrJahnsen yes, that's definetly Heidfeld

[jraybay]

Nick heidfeld drove prost!? when I thoought his sauber? D:

[ChrJahnsen]

Hehe, yep. In the 2000 season, the Prost cars were driven by Jean Alesi and Nick Heidfeld.

[jraybay]

O ok . thanks

[hypersaiyangoku]

He's lucky he had a camera in front of him, that tyre could have killed him it's not just the speed it was going at don't forget types are heavy

[ChirnefD]

Was this Camera hold by a man?

[Rennatow1]

Assassin wheel :D

[toniuncle]

ouch..

[wilson3a10]

dangerous wheel :)

[JpNineteen82]

that was heidfeld

[WatanukiF1]

Wooow... that flying tires are very dangerous =S

[HeavyMusic96]

By The Way!

[connell256]

nice reaction tbh

[spread777]

that was awesome! the way the camera shot flew up in the air!

[keletiblokk]

never easy...:)

[tonybek1]

that must have really hurt haha

[DoMw94]

LOL Well funny

[jeffandmatthardyrule]

Wah wah...

[thealcoholeffect]

I think the cameraman ducked... I kinda hope he ducked because that would of damn hurt!

[calumsensible]

@thealcoholeffect If he did I would sack him for deleriction of duty.

[BrandzF1]

lol, the guys lucky the camera was in the way

[sulz132]

R.I.P cameraman

[bagarnsmunk]

LOL nice

[K3RT11239]

ouch :S

[racerkid2006]

It's Heidfeld

[akuku135]

HEADSHOT :D LOOOL hahahahah. So, bad wheel :P

[Leventi1]

Who was the driver? Alesi or Heidfeld, does anyone know?

[TommyBellingham]

Heidfeld

[raptor9000001]

lol he got ownd

[siddharth94]

Ouch

[RacesFormula1]

Ouch! it hurts

[ScuderiaFerrari12]

Wow, I have never seen this before. thanks for posting

[yancarb]

d'oh!

[owndxpk]

k.o.

[jraybay]

those tires arent light  :\ . musta hurt :\

[jannefieke]

I not want be the camera man here...

[duncaann]

he shitted 7 collours lol

[tainterlakeisgreen]

thank god for the wheel tethers they added a few years ago

[AyrtonSenna1992]

voll in die fresse bääm

[F1since1996]

*doing*

[MarkNopeJustMark]

i wouldn't want to be looking down the lens of the camera when that happened...

[paschka82]

ouch

[KommieKillah]

There was someone operating this camera (it pans and zooms out) but the wheel hit the lens, which is huge. Since these cameras weight about 40 kilos, it's likely that the operator wasn't injured. At least, I hope he wasn't.

[maes7331]

i love that sound :o

[Surronded]

Maybe there was no guy... hope so...

[FordFusion2006]

what about the guy holding the camera...
