You would think they'd realize they should probably close that before it happened again with Mike Harmon 2 years later...man NASCAR was PAINFULLY slow with safety improvements. Major contrast to today's NASCAR, but they're only so proactive today because they lost Dale Earnhardt.
@WarpPal Dale died at full speed into a wall you notice dale only wore open face helmets and most likely he hit his face head on to the steering wheel. with the inpact of two cars. micheal hit harder but had a full faced helmet.
@NascarTheGame2012 yeah, the reason dale died is because of his open faced helmet.. He didn't wear a hans device, and when he hit the wall, his head hit the wheel that hard that his brain was pretty much scrambled eggs..
This is true. If you can find it, I believe it's still out there on the web, the official NASCAR report on Dale's death had a lot of pics of the inside of the car. In one you can see the wheel bent and what look like teeth marks in the wheel padding.
@WarpPal dale was not the "safest" driver he didnt wear all the safety equipent possible (other drivers didnt either) he called the hans device a damn noose and he most likely loosened his belt so it would fit like he wanted so his seatbelt broke on impact. also he hit the wall at a very ankward angle that broke many of his ribs and fractured the base of his skull an injury that many drivers like ayrton senna, jd mcduffie and ronald ratzenberger die from
@Mikeskates97 Yep, a basilar skull fracture, though wasn't Senna's death caused by the suspension piece moreso than the impact itself? If I'm right, Gerhard Berger hit a similar spot not long before Senna and walked away.
@DJprofessork72 yeah a piece of the suspension did hit and strike him in the helmet causing blunt force trauma and skull fractures along the base of his skull however i"m not familiar with what happened to gerhard berger
@WarpPal Because in this crash, the car absorbed the energy - hence it's destruction. In Earnhardts crash, the energy was absorbed, sadly, by the base of his skull.
@WarpPal dale earnhardt's crash was just a minor lick.. its because he wasnt wearing his seatbelt properly (if he was even really wearing it at all).. but when you hit a wall going 185+ mph without wearing a seatbelt or wearing it improperly.. youre gonna die
@WarpPal You actually make a really good point but Dale Sr. wasn't one for safety, and sadly he was fatally killed in that crash back at daytona. However, the speeds were MUCH slower at Bristol and Sr. hit the wall in the perfect place sadly that he was killed in that crash.
This was my first Nascar race growing up, grew up 30 min from the track, and still have the newspaper clippings from then. Don't remember this as I was only 5 but wow.

You guys saying things about dale sr. You forgot few thing. Dale sr used shock spring under his seat so his seat wasn't that bolted tighten up good alike other drivers. Nascar told him to changed that but you know dale sr won't. He like his seat the way he have it. And also he were using old way seat belts. They had better thick seat belts. Dale sr choose not use that. Dale sr race his way with loosen seat belts so he could move around lil bit. That's what he likes.
@elhefe001 Oh that's right. I forgot that. Thanks. But they tried to make dale sr to wear better seat belt which is thicker and wider. He won't wear them cuz he prefer old school seat belts. After his death, Nascar force everyone wear it and later came HANS device or they can't race. I think Nascar respect dale sr too much. Now nascar learn their lesson.
@MrZrazies They didnt try to get Dale Sr. to wear thicker and wider seatbelts....he wore the same Simpson belts that alot of drivers wore............The only thing they wanted him to change was to wear a full faced helmet instead of an open face helmet.....they never tried to change the seatbelts!
@elhefe001 No, it existed since the mid 90's. I believe. The thing is, it was uncomfortable at the time. I wore one as a Junior Drag Racer and it was awful. Now-a-days they're super comfortable. They barely feel like they're there. That's why in 2001 Senior wasn't wearing one.
lol this wreck and he survives but earnhardt taps a wall and dies. lol must mean that earnhardt has no balls and smaller dick to match. fuckin pussy. i've been in worse wrecks in my go cart
The " HANS " device was designed by Dr. Robert Hubbard in the early 1980's and a prototype was developed in 1985 and used in crash tests in 1989. It was promoted and manufactured in 1991, but sat on the shelves until 1994. So you see, they've been around for years and were available for the drivers to use although most chose not to use them.
ALL ya'll need to shut the fuck up.. Dale didnt wear his shit right bc he was an average red-neck that thought he was un-touchable..Nothing failed bu DALE ( RIP ).. Now shut the fuck up
@quasiphatpaul and @paintballer5200 he had his belts on and they did not fail, he simply wore them loose because he did not like to be straped so tightly into his car and when he hit the wall his body flew forward and when the loose belts caught his body his head kept moving and snapped his neck.
@jeniuzboyy wrong his neck was never broken the impact caused his open faced helmet to slide forward on his head exposing the back of his head and the back of his head the smashed against the seat and thats what killed him
@g0ing2n0where the person said he thought it looked like it was from the eighties, but it says, Michael Waltrip crash Bristol 1990, i never even meant to say the day or month
If you think about Michael and his career, he has had more flips and almost near-death crashes than wins. I don't even know how many times he has flipped anymore.
I was there! I was in the grandstands on the front stretch and you could feel it from there. The place was absolutely quiet until he got out and people on the backstretch started cheering.
@RyDogRidesTheBus i didnt say i was better than a nascar driver, i said wrc drivers were. Its not hard to drive round an oval, no matter how fast you're going. the only excuse would be a blow out
He was coming off a curve at a half mile track. There's no way he was doing any where near 180 mph. Not that he didn't hit hard, just saying 180's impossible on that track. They qualify in the neighborhood of 125.

I saw this car last summer. They have it in a museum right outside of Talledega Super Speedway. It is amazing walking around that car and how it came apart like that.
After every new nascar wreck, Darrell says that its the hardest hit he has ever seen. Since they have gotten the new cars, none of the wrecks have been as hard as this one.
One of the O-boys, from my home town. Michael wasn't great by a long shot, but he was--and is--a good driver. The only thing that separates him from a career like Gordon's or Johnson's os a checkbook that looks like Rick Hendrick's.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
actually he's no where close to a talanted driver. The only reason he won the daytona 500 twice is b/c someone was pushing him to the finish line and that's the ONLY way he'll ever win a race.
The exact same crash as Mike Harmon here. Amazing they didn't learn there lesson with this crash. And the cars almost look exactly the same after the crash.
It stands for Head And Neck-restraint System. Basically it sits on the shoulders and clips to the helmet via elastic straps to dissipate crash energy and protect the neck from damage.
Even Earnhardt's death didn't bring on the required HANS use (although most drivers started using it afterwards anyway). It was actually Blaise Alexander's fatal crash at Charlotte that was the last straw, they made the HANS mandatory after that.
I don't think anything could've saved Eric Martin...when you're already unbuckling your belts and another car hits you in the door at full speed, you're pretty much done.
@ward185 yea but he didn't have his seat belt on the right was eather he had it lose cause he could move around the car more so when he hit the walll his head it the wheel and that what cause his death
@ababyduck1337 The Hans Device was around before Earnhardt's death. Kyle Petty was wearing one During the Daytona race when Earnhardt died. Earnhardt' s seatbelt contributed to his death because they were not installed to manufacturer's specs.
@duane1344 if you werent soo simple minded you would know that the "HANS" did not come out till dale had died!!! and on the last lap Tony Eury or however u spell it thought the race was over soo dale removed his belts upon crossing the finish line soo when he hit the wall he did not have any belts on soo if he even had the belts he would have been killed!!!!
@paintballer5200 Duane you are so wrong the hans device has actullay been around since the mid 80's its current form has been around before Dale died the day Dale died Junior was wearing the Hans device because his Dad made him.
@quasiphatpaul he had his belts on and they did not fail, he simply wore them loose because he did not like to be straped so tightly into his car and when he hit the wall his body flew forward and when the loose belts caught his body his head kept moving and snapped his neck.
@paintballer5200 he had his belts on and they did not fail, he simply wore them loose because he did not like to be straped so tightly into his car and when he hit the wall his body flew forward and when the loose belts caught his body his head kept moving and snapped his neck.
@paintballer5200 Okay the HANS was out well before Dale died. Earnhardt Sr. himself referred to the device as "that damn noose", so obviously it was in use in Nascar. Also, you state he removed his belt upon crossing the finish line and then hit the wall. Um....he hit the wall BEFORE the finish line and no nascar driver in his right mind would remove his seat belt before the race was over.
@BMPmama698: Not that long before, but it did exist... It was actually mandatory in CART and F1, but it wasn't mandatory in NASCAR until Blaise Alexander died later in 2001...
@duane1344 Were there any other drivers wearing the HANS device at that time? I thought it was implemented along with many other safety equipment after his death.
This was horrifying.

I saw this car last summer. They have it in a museum right outside of Talledega Super Speedway. It is amazing walking around that car and how it came apart like that.

After every new nascar wreck, Darrell says that its the hardest hit he has ever seen. Since they have gotten the new cars, none of the wrecks have been as hard as this one.

One of the O-boys, from my home town. Michael wasn't great by a long shot, but he was--and is--a good driver. The only thing that separates him from a career like Gordon's or Johnson's os a checkbook that looks like Rick Hendrick's.

A horrible driver doesn't when the Daytona 500 twice. Was he great? no. But he was a good, and very talented driver.

actually he's no where close to a talanted driver. The only reason he won the daytona 500 twice is b/c someone was pushing him to the finish line and that's the ONLY way he'll ever win a race.
Gforcebond 2 years ago
Think about what you just said. Almost every winner of the Daytona had someone pushing them to the win. HA!!
And in order to have some pushing you to the win, you have to be in 1st place, right? Well an untalented driver wouldn't be in 1st.
And in order to even get a cup ride, you have to rip of the short tracks and any other racing league you were ever in.
Waltrip won 11 races in the Nationwide(BUSCH) series.
He may not be great, but he is very talented.

The exact same crash as Mike Harmon here. Amazing they didn't learn there lesson with this crash. And the cars almost look exactly the same after the crash.

What is the HANS?
Grandwaterfrount 2 years ago
It stands for Head And Neck-restraint System. Basically it sits on the shoulders and clips to the helmet via elastic straps to dissipate crash energy and protect the neck from damage.

Didn't know HANS was that old ... I can remember it for 5 years or so, in F1.

QWERTY, HANS was invented mid 1980's I think, don't know when it came into common use though.
jeffdaharper 2 years ago
wasnt required by drivers until after earnhardt. hans couldve saved adam petty, irwin, dale, eric martin, roper, etc
beatleboy9020001 2 years ago
Even Earnhardt's death didn't bring on the required HANS use (although most drivers started using it afterwards anyway). It was actually Blaise Alexander's fatal crash at Charlotte that was the last straw, they made the HANS mandatory after that.
I don't think anything could've saved Eric Martin...when you're already unbuckling your belts and another car hits you in the door at full speed, you're pretty much done.

none of them wore hans devices until dales accident.I was under the impression that it was due to seat belt failure.

@duane1344 From what I remember they developed the HANS device because of Dale Earnhardt's death.
ababyduck1337 1 year ago
@ababyduck1337 The Hans Device was around before Earnhardt's death. Kyle Petty was wearing one During the Daytona race when Earnhardt died. Earnhardt' s seatbelt contributed to his death because they were not installed to manufacturer's specs.

@duane1344 if you werent soo simple minded you would know that the "HANS" did not come out till dale had died!!! and on the last lap Tony Eury or however u spell it thought the race was over soo dale removed his belts upon crossing the finish line soo when he hit the wall he did not have any belts on soo if he even had the belts he would have been killed!!!!

@paintballer5200 Duane you are so wrong the hans device has actullay been around since the mid 80's its current form has been around before Dale died the day Dale died Junior was wearing the Hans device because his Dad made him.

@quasiphatpaul he had his belts on and they did not fail, he simply wore them loose because he did not like to be straped so tightly into his car and when he hit the wall his body flew forward and when the loose belts caught his body his head kept moving and snapped his neck.

@paintballer5200 Okay the HANS was out well before Dale died. Earnhardt Sr. himself referred to the device as "that damn noose", so obviously it was in use in Nascar. Also, you state he removed his belt upon crossing the finish line and then hit the wall. Um....he hit the wall BEFORE the finish line and no nascar driver in his right mind would remove his seat belt before the race was over.

@BMPmama698: Not that long before, but it did exist... It was actually mandatory in CART and F1, but it wasn't mandatory in NASCAR until Blaise Alexander died later in 2001...
PhilipTheBigOne 10 months ago
@duane1344 Were there any other drivers wearing the HANS device at that time? I thought it was implemented along with many other safety equipment after his death.
