Accidente de Roland Ratzenberger

[lukasmococa]

Que pancada! No documentário do Ayrton Senna, Roland Ratzenberger diz que precisava se controlar, pois estava fazendo o que nenhum piloto fazia. Ele estava jogando muito o carro nas curvas.

[gomezaparicio1627]

descanse en paz campeón, siempre recordado, saludo desde Panamá

[steuz85]

il 1994 vede la morte di due grandi piloti!!....a quei tempi correre era pericolosissimo!! RIP

[RedhotIta1]

How a so fantastinc Sport got the 50% of it so sad?

[NOXXism]

Is this the same corner where Gilles Villeneuve died?

[Shellocker]

@NOXXism No mate. Villneuve died at Belgian gp which was held back then at Zolder. 

[thehitchrules]

@NOXXism no, Villeneuve died in Zolder, Belgium 1982. However, this corner which killed Ratzenberger is called Villeneuve corner and is named after Gilles Villeneuve .

[satinisthree]

@thehitchrules Named after his crash into that same wall in 1980. Videos on youtube,.

[thehitchrules]

@satinisthree Yeah, that's right . Strange to have a corner named after a person who crashed in to it ? It was a violent crash aswell wasn' it ?

[epistte]

Few people know that Senna had an Austrian flag tucked in his car to display if he would have won the race.

RIP Aryton and Roland. That was a very dark weekend.

[Markko122L]

Died of a basal skull fracture or separation of the skull from the spinal cord causing massive bleeding. The same injuries accounted for Dale Earnhardt at Daytona and Gonzalo Rodriguez in CART at Laguna Seca. This is why racing drivers have the HANS device.

[immortalperser]

RIP Roland.

[RockFene]

si la carrera se supendiera en este momento Ayrton estaria aqui

DEP Roland

[mithrandir8489]

@RockFene Concuerdo contigo, pero desafortunadamente las cosas pasaron de esta terrible forma. Igual Ayrton vivo o muerto es mas leyenda de lo que puede ser Schumi u otros con mas logros que él.

[J4M3SPR]

lol

[bazcoloradomio]

@J4M3SPR stupid message in this video

[BeckMax]

RIP Roland, from Rancagua, CHILE.

[piacs04]

We NEVER forget you Ronald..r.i.p my dear pilot

from Chile

[liverpoolmirza01]

I almost cried when i saw this weekend because Rubens Barichello got injured on friday practice Ratzenberger dies on saturday practice :( and senna dies on the restart if the race :0

[RedhotIta1]

stupid wing... why were not allowed use wings like 1982? :(

[Terrilliser]

The cars in 1994 weren't structurally built to withstand impacts like that! today's modern F1 cars are far more solidly built and if there's a major incident the driver has a fighting chance of surviving!!..

[hailtothejedi]

R.I.P. Ratzenberger and Senna.

[ZZombyWooff]

lol

[MOOVIEbySEBBI]

@ZZombyWooff What? "lol"? This is dead crash and there is no "lol"!

[ZZombyWooff]

@MOOVIEbySEBBI Yes there is. There are many lols in horror and misery of unsafe cars and tracks

[MOOVIEbySEBBI]

@ZZombyWooff Hey, but this is 1994! And - do you know what "lol" means?

[ZZombyWooff]

@MOOVIEbySEBBI we all know what year this is. Yes I know what lol means, why?

[MOOVIEbySEBBI]

@ZZombyWooff Because this isn't funny. You told us about safety - i mean that in 1994 even stupid wheel of a car could kill senna. Today's F1 is much better - look at the Kubica's crash - if it were in '94, he could die 2 times.

[ZZombyWooff]

@MOOVIEbySEBBI You think lol has always something to do with funnyness? Gimme a break, for laughing out loud, you make me sick.

[ShinyMagnezone]

If this happened in this day and age then they would of escaped uninjured

[WillHapgood2]

Can people stop referring to Senna in Ratzenberger's video's. Everyone knows they both died, this is a video for Roland, not Ayrton,

To test your fake knowledge of F1, can anyone of you tell me what happened to Barrichello this weekend? Without searching it on here.

[PLynnJr95]

@WillHapgood2 Didn't Barichello crash in the same corner as Ratzenberger in qualifying on friday?

[remuaja84]

@WillHapgood2 True. Let me try to answer your question! Didn't Barrichello crash in the 2nd last corner (right-left S) due to too high speed, almost choking to his own tongue? Friday practice, it was I think.

[ryan240886]

elle sert a rien cette video on voi rien et elle dur 16 seconde nimporte quoi

[swettybettybob]

This is the only time I would point out the number of people who disliked the video. Bit disrespectful

[Mynamesnigel]

@swettybettybob Maybe they disliked it because they disliked the crash. Only evil bastards woud generally like a death of an innocent person.

[dartmoordog]

God forbid....But we could have lost Rubens as well. He is still much loved by ALL F1 fans.

[MrCefaludese]

Addio Ronald e Ayrton..sempre nei nostri cuori di appassionati di F1!

[simonfowler81]

@MrCefaludese SEMPRE!

[ThePoleman1961]

Por Roland, Solo mueren los que son olvidados

[Rascasseman]

In the aftermath of Senna's death it would have been very easy for people to have forgot what happened to Ratzenberger as well. That's why it was incredibly noble of Max Mosley, no matter what other opinions we have of him, to have attended his funeral while everyone else attended Senna's. The darkest weekend in formula one history.

[hadabenz]

the saddest weekend on F1 or any other motoring history.... RIP SENNA, RIP RATZENBERGER.

[whereisthejustice1]

that was a cursed weekend for f1. Ratzenberger and senna passed away but let's also not forget the f'd up crash Barrichello somehow survived.

[KCQUIPOR]

well now a lol its says he died in 1991 but it was in 1994 the day before senna

[Dragsteryourself]

@KCQUIPOR, actually you're a bit blind or is it rather the VHS tape that has a poor quality. Idk, but if you'd look closely, it actually says 1994 not 1991.

[JimmyStrident]

Poor Roland...

[RO83RTFERRARI]

@MrMdC94 So if one of your close friens/family will die, the first thing you do is throwing a party? You're insane...

[Mynamesnigel]

@RO83RTFERRARI People have partiest to celebrate the life. I want people to be happy on the day of my death... not miserable because I am no longer here but to share the great days that I hopefully share with awesome people.

[RicoDeMello]

Dont care wat ppl says, ROLAND deserve respect. God bless u... Give my bless to SENNA Roland.

[robertgunning]

16 years ago yesterday. We haven't forgotten you Roland.

[RedhotIta1]

@tnbf You are just an idiot.... do you like if someone go on you grave and start laugh?? oh yeah no body go to your grave

And for me the F1 pilot like Gilles Ayrton Roland are not deads they just go out their car to enter in the heart of evryone like they

[8nowt]

tragic though the death of Roland was, im fairly sure, if youd have asked the drivers, including Ayrton, they would have said 'let the show go on'. All drivers, of all eras, are fully aware of the dangers they face, and still do it, just because they love their jobs, and love the sport

[RicoDeMello]

The race go ahead coz thoso ppl love money, de fia and Bernie. Thoso ppl dont care about de drivers. RIP RLAND AND SENNA

[coldplaywave]

This accident of Roland Ratzenberger is similar to the accident of Robert Kubica in Canada 2007!

[garyb654]

I still cant beleive that the fia or the team owners actually let the race weekend go ahead after roland's crash. if they had postponed the race we would still have ayrton with us today.

R.I.P. Roland and Ayrton

[jpmcfc]

@garyb654 u r so right.that is exactly what i was thinkin.Senna wouldnt of crashed if the race was postponed.i am shocked that they let the race day go on with a driver dying the day before!on the news report there waas only a small thoyght of roland's death.but poor senna died aswell.both drivers will definately be missed but it was the f1 boards fault for lettin the race weekend continue,without even the slightest regard 4 ratzenberger!!

[TehNoobWhoPlaysHalo]

@garyb654

Italian Rules state that if the driver was not dead on track. The race must go on, Roland's was indeed dead on track, BUT, he had life support, which meant he was still alive ( in a fashion) So italian authority deemed the race must go on.

[kimi450]

@garyb654 2 words ' REAL IDIOTS !!!!!!!! '

[qertasdfgzxcvb]

@garyb654 Actually they should have stopped before, when Barrichello almost killed himself in a horrible crash. Both Roland and Ayrton would still be alive.

[ATDOINFERNO]

@garyb654 Yeah...the whole safety structure of the track was a death trap. I'm surprised Barrichello didn't die, though he barely escaped.

[055697]

he wasnt ''owned'' you fag he was killed. kill yourself, bitch. NOW!!!!

[rickmast89]

@BarryDennen12 nothing owned here mate he was killed do you have

no respect get a fucking life

[AlexTorres1988]

@BarryDennen12 Kill yourself please

[BarryDennen12]

Fuck you!

[AlexTorres1988]

@BarryDennen12 Just do it

[BarryDennen12]

Is that a Nike thing? I wonder if Roland was wearing Nikes.

[AlexTorres1988]

@BarryDennen12 probably

[freakytribal83]

Roli? R.I.P!!!!!

[aegi79]

R.I.P. Ratzi.

Sie haben eine österreichische Flagge in Sennas Wagen gefunden. Er wollte dieses Rennen unbedingt für Ratzi gewinnen!

R.I.P. Senna

[Molinman]

Peinliche, melodramatische Aktion von Senna.

[MelodySternchen]

Peinlich o.O und wieso?

[jambalrog]

esse acidente já era um aviso,do que estava por vi, depois Rubens Barrichello se acidentou, era o segundo aviso de que o pior estava por vir no dia seguinte.

[bubi8894]

Ein guter Fahrer in einem schlechten Auto. R.I.P

[Koenigstiger]

Es wurde viel zu wenig über ihn gesprochen. Im Vergleich zu Senna

R.I.P

[DowntimeSeb]

im Vergleich zu Senna wurde fast gar nicht über ihn gesprochen - so viele kennen Senna's Namen, wer kennt Roland Ratzenberger?

Wahnsinn, wie hart Sport sein kann.

[hostibusterror]

Ciao Roland! Riposa in pace!

[ciaranwalsh96]

i am wondering where you can get the full clip for san marino gp1994 fia review on youtube.

[sobrinho]

Este GP jamais deveria ter ocorrido.

Roland, Senna... lamentável.

[WillyanSCCP]

e mais outros tantos acidentes que tiveram nesse dia...

O Rubinho ficou fora da corrida pq no dia do treino livre ele quase foi parar na arquibancada com o carro, quebrou até o nariz.

Essa corrida tava alma almodiçoada... Não é possivel!

[MXYZPTLK1000]

Estava mesmo almodiçoada, além do acidente de Rubens Barrichello, no treino de classificação a morte de Roland Ratzenberger (não tem lamentavelmente história na F1).

E para piorar a situação... perdemos o herói brasileiro na corrida.

Lembrando também que um piloto (não lembro qual) durante a parada nos box atropelara um mecânico.

Essa corrida foi a mais amaldiçoada na história da F1, não gosto desse GP San Marino e GP San Marino nunca mais.

[TheMrMouth]

R.I.P Roland i still remember you as a brave driver that weekend!

[newromantic888]

very sad........my mother died in front of me on April 27. I was the GP to cheer myself up. Sorry.

[frageris14]

neste fim de semana tragico o Brasil perdeu seu mais querido heroi, não sei muita coisa a respeito de Ratzenberger, mas se não tivessemos perdido o grande Senna, ao final daquela corrida, ele seia lembrado,o Senna estava correndo com a bandeira do país dele...seria uma homenagem...o mais triste gp q eu assisti...

[Sonnenbankhomie]

R,.i.P.

[AlphaDraconis1]

R.I.P. Ratzenberger.

[JimSchumacher]

RIP Roland Ratzenberger.

[alexanfaria]

That was a strange accident. He just goes straight, no stearing weels. He may be blacked out? or, like Senna, was the direction bar?

[klesterchopperchipe]

The front wing was damaged from an earlier off and went under the car, preventing him from steering.

[plateriapotosi]

q descances en paz . .

[odmyanqui2]

RIP Poland... Sadly he is almost fogeted when every year the formula one circus remember imola tragedy....

[simo2805]

R.I.P. Ratzenberger.

Troppo spesso dimenticato dai fatti del giorno seguente.

Comunque, a parere mio, dopo questo incidente mortale, e quello gravissimo accaduto a Barrichello, c'erano gli estremi per non correte la gara...

[theannoyingdogpoo]

Speed kills.

[chewinggum2001]

It's not the speed, it's the sudden deceleration that kills.

[skids101]

yep now f1s are alot safer now

[TehClosetMonkey]

You're a cunt, you know that?

[Stupido95]

There is no "lol" when somebody dies.

[dextersno1fan]

mwahahaha 180darts excellent comment lad, but R.I.P. Roland.

[Sixthsense1990]

wrong, there is never lol at a death.

[MrMdC94]

@Stupido95 He is just passed to another world, why don't we have a party when it happens?

Because people have the fear to die, and they don't know what is death.

[Nikateer]

@Stupido95 They are clowns! What do u expect!

[ba3cool]

@Stupido95 Be a realist, 100s of thousands of people die everyday. It's why we exist, to pass on our genes and get the fuck out. You might as well LOL. The decomposing ain't gonna give a shit.

[imbacat87]

@Uzzielli

Fucking son of a bitch, death is nothing to laugh about i hope if you die where will somebody be on your funeral who says "lol", motherfucker!

[Uzzielli]

@imbacat87 the truth is death is a necesary "evil"

and yeah i hope somebody laugh on my funeral as we shouldnt take death so serious and if ur wondering, yes, my grandmom and my uncle have died, i do feel sorry but u have to move on. sorry, for taking this serious on a youtube video but i just broke up with my girl and i feel so fucked up

[imbacat87]

@Uzzielli

sorry for your girlfriend but being so jealous to answer on stupidos comment that nasty! sorry but thats just fucking dumbass style ... but with move on your right ...thats important because you can kill yourself when you dont move on and your'e sad all the time life got no sense then ...

GreeTz .-sAm-.

[Schatzomat]

@Uzzielli

dumbhead

[BartRamone]

@Stupido95 Yes there is. Where have you been ?

[Danilo552]

@Stupido95 for some ppl lol is WTF!!! lol< guy with the hands up =P

[ITW84]

its so easy to overlook roland's death becuase of what happened the following day

R.I.P Roland like Ayrton you wont be forgotten

[Jordache22222]

@ITW84 I found this while searching for Ayrton Senna on Wikipedia: "As track officials examined the wreckage of his racing car they found a furled Austrian flag—a victory flag that he was going to raise in honour of Ratzenberger.[68] Pretty touching!

[xxJSGC123xx]

@Jordache22222 I read the same thing; it brought a tear to my eye.

[liouiui]

poverino ke brutta fine

[OnePieceSanjiRobin]

A day too late, but we were robbed from another talent who never couldn't prove himself

RIP Roland and Ayrton too.

[sweetypie000]

RIP Roland & Ayrton

[sunaru5]

What Simtek response followed that tragedy?

It's not a driver mistake, one of the wing broke? there was no puirsuit leke senna's tragedy?

[ESSESEDICI]

15 anni fà se ne andarono assieme

il 1° e l'ultimo, stessa sorte accomuna il piu forte e il piu appasionato.... Ciao ragazzi noi non vi dimenticheremo....

[lilic1]

Time is just flying by...it happenned 15 years ago. Rest in peace, Roland.

[Stupido95]

15 years and still not forgotten, R.I.P. a great Austrian talent.

[robertgunning]

15 years ago today. Rest in peace Roland

[AmateurRecords]

15 years tomorrow...rest in peace roland

[marcrichiger]

His Accident was on Saturday during Quali.. Senna on Sunday 1st May during the Race.

Roland had a failure with his front wing.

True that Senna had an austrian flag in his car for Roland Ratzenberger during the race..

Two great Divers.

One a Legend and one was the best upcoming young Driver in F1. Roland would have also won a few World Championships.

RIP

[rider5g]

is he dead already?pls dont spam me...juz asking.

[richy763]

He died in qualifying of the same race as senna, two tragic deaths in one day :( RIP

[junster333]

well two days but yeah RIP Ratzenberger.

[gp3runescape]

he died in 1994 1 day before senna because of a broken neck. he was dead before the car stopped

[kouzouka]

senna had an austrian flag in his car the day he died to honour him... god bless them in heaven

[thetreadingbehemoth]

why couldnt roland turn in the corner

[Stupido95]

He lost his front wing.

[Formule1fan21]

I can't see this, Man I hate this grand prix. He was so young.....

[yamahamotoritaly]

You're right.

[06kohlert]

Both deaths on this weekend were caused by the open cockpit design... 2 possible causes for senna, the neck jolt, or a wheel to the head. ratzenberger would have been killed because of the neck movement caused by the impact, see barichello's accident or hakkinen 1995 adelaide in slow motion for an example... in modern cars, movement is so limited, that severing ones nervous cord's at the neck is no longer possible!

[protomanknows]

no, it was a suspension cord to the head D:

[Antipwnsurmum]

Suspension arm.

[DoohanOK]

06kohlert is correct but still tragic. Roland died instantly (impact with wall), Senna with multiple head injuries (wheel and other debris). The cars are much safer now, and MotoGP bikes accelerate and brake faster than F1. Dangerous which is why so few can, or do, what they do. Vale Roland and Aryton.

[magknight]

Absolutely. Kubica's crash was so much worst and still walk away, thankfully. Hans divice is the best invention in racing. I don't know how many lives has saved already.

[Temezkin47]

Yeah and in overall formula cars safety is 100 times better than 15 years ago. Imagine that Kubica crash with 1994 Williams.. :S

[pjsmoulder]

what is hans device?

[NewYankee01]

its basically a block of material that fits onto the drivers shoulds which has a strap on either side that connects onto strap buttons on the drivers helmet which stops the neck jerking when a driver crashes or gets shunted. it restricts the drivers movements to less than an inch or 2 of head movement.

[pjsmoulder]

ah, i know eaxactly what you're talking about now! thanks. bloody good idea those things.

[jraybay]

It not just the hans device. The cars themselfs are made better now. They make out of better material and design to take energy from crash and less for driver. That with hans makes f1 safer. But even that could not stop felipe massa accident at hungary. that is freak accident.

[magknight]

Agreed.

About an accident like Felipe's. I don't know how it can be prevented without a canopy.

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

massa's crash should just be accepted as a freak accident...

things like that are just unavoidable, like falling off a stepladder...

it shows that their are inherent dangers in everything we do...

what's so sad about massa's accident is that it overshadows surtees' accident and he was forgotten...

RIP

[marianopicco]

They should have cancelled that grand prix

Italian law says that if a death occurs in a sporting event, the event has to be cancelled and the death investigated... This sad accident could have spared Senna's life the next day, but there was too much money invested into this and it got the better of justice I guess...

RIP Roland and Ayton, we'll never forget

[CM1032]

Two questions, however. Did the Italian law say this before the race, or was it put in after the race because of what happened?

Also, San Marino is an independent European state, its own flag, national football team etc so its laws may be different from Italy's.

Even in the old days though, when it was less commercially driven, the show would go on. It had always been a part of racing so the sport just got on with it. Even in the 1950s when a driver would die each race weekend.

[marianopicco]

I belive the law was there before the race... And even though the San Marino GP is called that way, it was held in Italian ground (Near Imola, some 50 miles away) so laws apply...

[CM1032]

I didn't realise that Imola was in Italy, however that would make sense because the closest hospital (Maggiorre) was in Italy. Thankfully there is more respect to driver safety in legal terms and in technology today.

[Nextmemory16]

dude, you cut it off.

[gklainbard]

They shouldn´t race that weekend... too sad, Rest in Peace Roland!!

[punkr]

I agree. If they didn't race the next day out of respect for Roland, nothing would have happened and his teammate would still be alive today (Ayrton Senna). RIP both.

[spitymaeh]

they were not teammates ....

[noel0blake]

God Bless
