Kenny Brack Crash Multilpe Angles

[filmskaparen1]

Bräck didn´t spent 18 months recovering. He just spent 9.

[1000oke]

here he sing kenny bräck 0:07

[Tickettohellandback]

Crunch.

[MrPorsche91730]

it was clearly bracks fault he was picchin buddy down there, like it or not, i tells em as i sees em

[QuikdrawlMcgraw]

no the very fast spinnign part was the monocoque a few pieces of the car went thru the fence at the point of impact but kenny was thrown back on track...u may not liek indy cars..but they have THE BEST accident response team ever many times htey are at the car before it even stops...have saved many a driver by thier quick action

[helookalikeaman117]

I STILL can't believe he lived

[shaunwhite0]

Kenny bräck still suffers from the accident, but to be honest, he should be happy he's alive. He's like centimetres from death

[Thelicye]

haha äää oj Ä

[GuusBeerten]

0:25 It looks like the car went through the fences... But it wasn't the monococque, was it?

[matforsbon]

Kenny Bräck still suffer from injuries from this crash. He had to stop participate in a swedish game show he had too much pain to continue

[spudracer13]

Sheckter = one of the worst indy car drivers ever

[Peskdale61]

@landofconfusion2

Err... It's Indy, not F1.

[landofconfusion2]

thankfully it was F1 and no one was there to watch it

[LogainUlver]

@landofconfusion2 At least you know what you're watching...

[Clownface125]

@LogainUlver hahaha

[7249xxl]

view years later mike conway folows him in to the fence

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

@7249xxl And 2 years after this, Ryan Briscoe did it

[7249xxl]

@JoshuaJohnKnight idd i forgoten the name

[RyDogRidesTheBus]

Amazing he survived that.

[weallfollowmanutd]

lol cackredvaux. No human can withstand 400gs.

[ochs42thethird]

Highest amount of G-forces EVER RECORDED, at 214 G's. How the hell did he survive?

[nr2002vidz]

how the hell did he not die on impact?!?!?!

[yust1more]

amazing he survived. safety and tech. wow

[PhotoRelax]

and he won the X games this year WTF??!!

[Huggeto1]

Svenskar regerar;)

[omegga7jr]

that car is no more.

[bivade]

he´s name is Kenny Bräck and not Kenny Brack so you know.

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

@bivade. I dont have (ä) on my keyboard

[scottheggie]

i dont have an any key

[ThulinNr1]

@JoshuaJohnKnight

how the fuck did yu do an ( ä ) if you don't got it ? ;) maybe you did and ( a ) and a (¨), but its still an ( ä )

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

@ThulinNr1 I copied and pasted from the guy who had that button, I wasn't going to search it in google for 5 minutes, so...

[carloslp37]

ahhh ok man i thought it was really diferent

[Griwhoolda]

Wow.

[jonlennon1973]

I forgot how horrific this accident was. A real Stan Fox type moment.

[bigtexan0]

I was at this race...in fact I was watching this group of cars through my binoculars when the crash happened. Most everyone in the stands near where I was sitting thought Brack was dead.

[weallfollowmanutd]

this was one of 'those' accidents, when at the time it was an almost certainty he was dead. I couldn't believe first of all, that he survived without a brain injury, due to the horrendus G-loading he must have been subjected to.

[nortenero]

@weallfollowmanutd I'm surprised his eyes didn't pop or something...

[rudylexi8]

Indy Car racing has to be the most Unsafe sport ive ever seen its like a person a year dies at this sport. I dont know how they keep going

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

no one has died in Indycars since 2006, before that 2003 and before that 1996. 3 drivers has died since the Indy Racing League started 13 years ago.

[rudylexi8]

Well there has to be a way to make those cars safer Looking at how small they are AND how fast they go.

[nascarfanforlife2488]

Kenny Brack won gold in Rally Car at the X Games.

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

well done Kenny

[nascarfanforlife2488]

Yeah, it was really awesome to see because after this crash they weren't sure he would ever walk again, let alone race.

[itanarne]

They both survived...

[afrench2000]

why do the cars not race on a normal racetrack with run-off areas etc - a brick wall and cheese grating fence on the edge of the track is not the brightest idea....

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

Indycars race on 3 types of tracks. Ovals like the one above, Street tracks (like monaco) and Road course's (like F1)

It is very rare that a car hits the catch fence, 2 in the IRL's 14 year history. The catch fence being there to keep the 50,000+ fans, safe. Usually they hit the SAFER barrier rather than the fence. the fence is just there to keep everything in the bullring

+ run of areas are stupid. it is a get-out-of-jail-free-card. it doesn't show a true drivers talent.

[Gummerman]

Kimi Raikkonen - Hockenheimring 2004. Rear wing failed on a high speed corner. Without run of area he surely would have had injuries. Thanks to run off, he walked away unhurt.

[beau99]

@JoshuaJohnKnight Run-off areas are there for a reason, just like the SAFER barriers on NASCAR-sanctioned tracks.

[klinger75]

I watched the race on tv and i wonder how anyone can make it alive from crash like this.

Kenny can not be regarded as medicine miracle . He must have trouble getting throgh airport security with all this metal in is body .

[picpocarmy]

Damn this crash is awesome... uuuuuu thx

[NascarManiaco96]

If I was on Brack car when it hit the fence,I would think in 4 words resume it: Oh shit, I'm dead!

[RedWings1835]

I hate these fucking cars and this is the reason why. These IRL cars carry so much downforce that the drivers run the risk of getting flipped like this whenever contact is made with another car or having their back break as soon as they hit the wall. I really wish Champ Car could have bought out IRL instead of the other way around. These IRL cars do provide some ok racing sometimes, but Champ Car was so much better and so much safer.

[ParagonB]

that's just horse***t.. what you had here was and open-wheel momentum action. it has NOTHING to do with downforce. take any to open wheel cars and contact like that and the natural action of the wheel on wheel will launch one into the air. Now add champcar's turbo-boosted cars, and you have a car that couldn't even run on this track

[beau99]

@ParagonB Correct. CART attempted a race here, but it was canceled after they ruled it unsafe after the qualifying session because of average speeds they never saw before.

[MLGxDOMINATORx24]

i would've crapped my pants if i was in that car!!!!!!

[Fezztecfilms]

there'd be shit everywhere then... looked like a blender!

poor guy... who was in the spinning cockpit ?

[jraybay]

Did he experience 214 g's when the car started to spin wildly? cuz that was really fast and there is a person inside :(

[racefan815]

I know it spun fast enough it actually pulled his spinal cord out of his spine

[swooperman]

I was there too....was sure I ihad seen someone get killed. Horrible wreck

[chance9win]

i was at that race

[cjs1776]

he would have been killed if he had hit the wall with wheels on the track on the track

[brushcreekracing]

Did Kenny Brack blow a tier or break. He just yanked sideways.

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

the to cars hit each other spinning them up the banked track

[SEThatered]

Lucky, very lucky guy!!!

4-6g "tunnel vision"

over 6g blackout for untrained ppl

human can withstand 45g, survive 100g (wikipedia)

214g XO

[JF7SWE]

A human body can survive about 15g. In f1 u have like 5g on u and flight pilots can handle 10g. the only reason why they can be in like 214g is that it is a short amount of time. that's the reason why he did survive.

[dkcvv]

Hi,

There is a huge difference between vertical and lateral G's. THe figures you give about tunnel vision and blackout only concern vertical G's. Racing drivers only experience lateral G's.

Regards.

[SEThatered]

Hmm. I see...

[EddieGpracer886]

these IRL cars can't seem to stay on the ground

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

1 in 2003 (this one)

1 in 2004 (Buddy Rice)

1 in 2005 (Ryan Briscoe)

2 in 2007 (2x Dario Franchitti)

that indycars have had huge air.

[NightRid3rs77]

det är tur att han lever =)

[Malarkey555]

G forces could have killed him, or even one of the cables could have cut his cockpit for the middle or even something worse that I don't dare to say :S

[AEMoreira81]

214 Gs is the most that anyone has ever survived, which is what Kenny Brack suffered.

[themanwhocanbemoved]

I think the Gs on Robert Kubica in his canada crash were higher! 280Km/h and a sharper angle resulted in over 250Gs!!

Though this one is one of the heaviest crashes a driver survived

[TJlaaaaaa]

Lap 188 actually...

Anyway, Bräck and Tomas Scheckter touched wheels, sending Bräck into the air at 200+ mph, hitting a steel support beam for the catch fencing. According to Bräck's site his car recorded 214 g.

[stealthy347]

This crash was the highest shock, measured at 214 G's ever survived by a human. People have been easily killed by half that. And about the car, it doesn't matter so much what it was made of, or even how the fence was configured. The car is designed to break apart like that, pretty much just leaving the carbon fiber 'coccoon' of the driver cockpit. Even with all of the technology & safety features, no feature can alleviate the shock (G force) associated with 200+mph to almost zero, fortunate man!

[sledneckskillen]

drygt 200 G utsattes han för där. sjukt att han klara sig

[crazyful123]

Geez, drop the thing about his name,God

[Carpodacuserythrinus]

Romua tuli läjä =(

[callousg]

by the way, an umlaut changes pronunciation to ae...so it would come out more as breck than brack

[westftballstar31]

the stupid thing is that this was part the IRL's fault because they set up the catch fencing inside out, I don't know how that happened, so when Bracks car hit the steel hooked on the car and shredded it to pieces

[mallamoozoo]

Why do the American commentators insist on pronouncing it "Breck"?

English lesson yanks - it's B.R.A.C.K

Or do you go around saying "Micheal Jeckson"?

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

is it hiki or heke in heikki Kovalainen.

Brack is swedish he could pronounce his name breck but spells it with an a.

or it could be bWRECK cause thats what happened

[ploplen]

Actually it's Bräck, with two dots over the a

/A swede

[xanthus25]

high-key kova-li-nen. Oh so it's being pronounced on tv

[501DeltaSquad]

I'm american and I know it is Brack, not Breck. I was wondering why Kenny wasn'y in the IRL anymore. Man I saw this man WIN the target 400 at CHICAGO MOTOR SPEEDWAY, which was closed 2 years after that race. Man I wish his career never ended that way. GOD BLESS YOU KENNY!!!

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

he raced the 2005 indy 500. He set the fastest qualification time in the field, but retired from the race with a mechanical problem.

[TwistedArmco]

It is pronounced Breck. 'A' with two dots (umlaut) over it makes the 'ah' sound into an 'eh' sound.

[Opethvince]

Bräck actually. As said by others. "Ä" isn't an "A" in any way (Except for the "A"), nor should it be pronounced like one. "Två dåliga äpplen" (Two bad apples) is nothing like "Tva daliga applen". But to pronounce "ä" for any english speaking country must be hard.

[andersson9292]

He survived

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

Yep, Suffered multiple fractures, broke his sternum, femur, shattered a vertebra in his spine and crushed his ankles. Kenny spent 18 months recovering from his injuries.

[dario272]

Brack made a suicidal move there, look closely and you'll see how he got closer and closer to Scheckter, it's nobody's fault but his..

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

this could possibly have been side draft

[e521soediv]

them commentators suck

[ryanlong01]

FYI, the voiceover is from the IMS Radio Network (Mike King is the anchor and the first voice you hear, then Mark Jaynes), NOT the TV feed. So, they aren't commenting on what you are seeing on the screen with regards to replays, etc., they're commenting on seeing it live and trying to explain what happened to people who are listening on the radio.

[JackiePaquito]

The commentators react very little to this

[8rylo3]

214 G's look it up on wikipedia

[y0utuub3]

i agree with kobusinski29, really creepy crash! he's fully recovered now! THANK GOD!

BTW: He's swedish just like me :)

[iLoveMarkSelby4ever]

kenny brack is swedish, just like me =) but he's 100% OK now ! thank god <3

[nixxxon18]

oh shit, american racing series are very poor on safety...

[johnnystir]

???? He survived this wreck. Anyone would have had severe injuries no matter what the car was. The fact that he's up and about now is a testament to how far we've come safety-wise. If an IndyCar gets airborne into the catch fence, all bets are off though. There was a certain amount of luck involved here. Open wheels with no fenders are part of the danger. Still, Brack survived, and part of that is because of the relative safety of these cars.

[nixxxon18]

yes but look at the car when it smashes... it wrecks into a million pieces. Otherwise if it had been an F1, the driver room would've been intact (undeforming structure)

[johnnystir]

That's what IndyCars are designed to do. An F-1 car would have done the same thing if shot into a catch fence at over 200 mph.

[nixxxon18]

No. Did you see Kubica's accident in Canada last year? 200mph smash directly into a wall, he survived, the car's cockpit didn't get destoyed

[johnnystir]

Wall is different. I respect your view, but I think IndyCars have been fairly safe...especially in the last 5-6 years since they finally got the gearbox situation taken care of.

[johnnystir]

Just watched it. Kubica's car didn't get launched into the catch fence. Brack's car went up into the catch fence and was shredded further by that. While he had extremity injuries, he broke his sternum, collarbones, and had a concussion...I believe.

[nixxxon18]

And Kubica didn't break anything, he had a minor injury in one leg and he raced a month after.

IndyCars may be safer now, but F1's are ultimately crash tested

[dario272]

3 weeks after, actually

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

IRL are the leadings in safety. IRL will test it, F1 will use it years later.

+ the reason why the car shatters into a million pieces is because its made of carbon fibre. this also absorts the impact.

+ kubica crash wasn't at 200mph. his car didn't get caught in the crash fence which virtually shreaded Bracks car.

if a IRL car hit a concrete wall it would look like kubica's car did.

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

- thumbs down for telling the truth

[DFDSFUEIFH]

JoshuaJohnKnight, thumbs up for telling the truth

[cackredvaux]

Robert Kubica (BMW F1 Drive) Experienced over 400 G's in his crash in the Cannadian GP this year. 200 - 0 MPH in a Very short space = VERY HIGH G Forces

[JJKRacing]

knock a zero of. it was 40 G's

[kpcart]

it was about 70 Gs at 150mph actually. and im pretty sure ive read before this was no was 215 gs, i think that would have been instant death.

[TheZonda5002]

@JJKRacing actually it was 214 g's but because it was for just a milisecond, the only thing that damaged him was a fractured back.

[beau99]

@TheZonda5002 He actually broke several bones in his body, according to his own website.

[zip0v]

@cackredvaux yeah 400 G's would make his internal organs rupture. Actually it would just turn him into a pile of red goo with bones sticking out.

[PsuPepperoni]

@cackredvaux you're off by about 325 G's

[kobusinski29]

One of the worst wrecks I've ever seen.

[miseboy]

oh my goodness!

[candy71]

bull! there is no way thats 215 G's!!!!!!
