Crash Carnage #4

[llama62]

how many of these were fatal?

[holitoo]

Wow 5 stars !

Incredible how the man is ejected at 2.51. About 5 meters high would I say.

[larisaliya]

Does anyone know who is the driver at 2:50?

[DaleJrisawesome39765]

I'm pretty sure that guy at 0:46 was Wilbur Shaw.

[Chihuahuaman2]

Get those guys some seat belts!

[USAF2409]

back then ever wreck was a fatality. lol retards

[bigglyguy]

@USAF2409 Go and wash your mouth out. Their bravery, resilience and innovation are why later cars became safer, the safer still, then even safer, up to the cushioned beanbags we drive today. Without men like these we'd still be getting facefulls of horse fart, so show some respect, you sniveling little coward.

[USAF2409]

@bigglyguy they could of at least had the common sense. You would think 10 deaths a week would catch attention and people would say " Hey we are losing a bunch of drivers lets try and make the cars safer"

[Galaxies91]

they were so stupid!! Couldn't they use wider tires and roll cage? Like any steel pipe??

[bigglyguy]

@Galaxies91 Stupid? Wider tires on modern racing cars are to handle the higher power output, back in those days they wanted narrow tires to grip in the wet. If you didn't understand that then that makes you stupid, right? As for roll cages, that's extra weight and wind resistance, which would make you the safest loser in every race.

[Bumrush336]

They didn't need downforce back then, the cars were weighed down by the drivers massive testicles

[speedskiff2]

first saw with "Killed Myself When I Was Young" playing.

[Redmailnet]

I guess rationality is almost a modern thing.

[sgwbyyy]

Dam...though s guys got mess up back then

[sgwbyyy]

Great. Play lists!!!!!!!!!

[sgwbyyy]

Luv the vids!!!

[jbruce01241]

uuuuummmm the guys are flying out -_-

[PataDeGatoTV]

My most sincere and respectful gratefulness to these brave and many times innocent men who helped to develop all the security issues we have in our cars today. In many cases giving their lives. Thank you very much. We owe you so much.

[DuploRabbit]

WOw



[chich234]

DUDE flying at 2.51 oO

[MetalBeetle]

2:06-The driver had his legs over the seat and head over the dashboard. Man, the way some of these drivers were flying thru the air and being ragdolled is like they're bikers. Without the safety gear of course...

[Nohjjohnthegreat]

If Vettel were in hid car, these people would beat him in the cars they had back when these crashes happened they were that good!

[BigStickWonder]

good stuff

[TMANMAN16z]

I would be suprised if there wasn't at least one fatality per race back in these days.

[espositogiuseppe86]

aveva la pelle dura in quei tempi la gente!

[Tireburn1]

This is some of the BEST Vintage footage i have seen..Nice job!

[3nd0v3r3nd]

What is 2:45? I know It's F1, but who and where.

Insane stuff. In those days, if you crashed you were either unharmed or dead.

[Mitas5757]

@3nd0v3r3nd Hans Herrmann, AVUS, 1959. He walked away unharmed ^)

[FilthyCreature1]

These guys are men.

[KingCuervo88]

certain cup series drivers should watch this and quit bitching about being put in the wall...

[cayennethedog]

it would be alarming to compete in a series where being thrown from the car was the safest option... these guys were gods...

[MsJorgis]

awesome racing!



[AustraliaYouBeauty]

Man CAN fly! This old footage is epic.  These guys were absolute heroes!!!

[Keiretsu]

2:51 the man is fucking flying in the sky!!!

[mediaclipge]

Questo video e' pazzesco , nessun sistema di sicurezza, il primo incidente molto spesso era anche l'ultimo...

[Racecarwrecks]

0:55 first ever Monaco GP crash (probably)

[LB1973]

@Racecarwrecks Its not Monaco, annoying thing is I don't know where it is!

[booobbobo]

2:50 : That driver got ragdolled so hard... I don't know if anyone knows otherwise, but I can't imagine the driver survived getting crushed under his car and then landing hard after being ejected. Brutal.

[MegaSparky555]

2:41 Where is that exactly?

[dg3089]

the best that could happen is getting flung from your car

[lolasapo]

where you find these clips?

[umavunga]

GREAT VIDS!! My father had one of these race cars, one of the first to go over 100 mph at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Thanks!!!

[The777brown]

2:50 holy cow! that guy was like a ragdoll!

[theycallmeherbie]

Where drifting was invented lmfao

[sdavis732010]

holy fucking shit batman

[jeffgooloolie]

Wow, how long did it take to invent the roll bar !!!???

[jdf0919]

@jeffgooloolie thousands of deaths

[youngdones]

Any deaths in this video?

[brettcrashman]

@youngdones i only know one for sure: the crash @ 2:50 i forget the guys name but i know for sure that he sustained fatal injuries

[209mc]

What was up with racing back then!!!??? :O

[CopsAndCrashes]

lots of flying bodys in this one

[SephirothWish]

We talk about racers in our present...In past was the Steel Balls mans...

[supercrapnstuff11]

something tells me the turn at 1:15 and at 1:40 are just a little too evil

[GGGunitNextLevel]

2:38 - 2:40 look how's the driver leaning to prevent the car from rolling :P

[superdevins]

Damn they had some balls back then.

[deaschowieda]

it's unbelievable that you can see people actually walking away from some of those wrecks. by today's standards one expects nearly everyone to die in such a car.

[bfrance2002]

This is grate footage.

[NaTex2488xHMS]

@bfrance2002 great spelling :)

[barneynward]

1:37 thats the early days of nascar.

[southbeach87]

Does anyone know what kind of car that is at 0:39?

[PttyBlue43]

@southbeach87 looks like a bugatti type c

[DukeLaCrosse20]

Insanity -- no seat belts, no roll cage. Just insane.

[henkdecitroen13]

@DukeLaCrosse20 I do get the principal of it, when you crash and roll, it's more dangerous to stay in the car when your head is up high! the idea is that when you flip is that you fall out of the car and that the car keeps rolling without anyone in it!

[xetlive]

Bawls of F***ing Steel !!!

[supercrapnstuff11]

@xetlive no i think its somthing more than steel

[trabajador98]

ok...I get it...your career ended with your first crash....coz you died ?!

[Roguirio]

@TheGoodwill555 Actually got hit by his own car while in mid air. If he didnt die, hes 1 lucky son of a ....

[TheRacer120]

@Roguirio He did die. Occured sometime during the early 1930's.

[duonis112]

no seat belts ,no safety, omg. Also old school rally, thats awesome :D

[ferchobitt]

I bet death toll back in the day was pretty high!

[carlover975]

Old school crashes

[MarkNopeJustMark]

Racing was so stupid back then - thrilling - but stupid, the safest that could happen to a driver was being flung from his car.

Ouch at 1:56!

[patronpatron]

Ezt szörnyű nézni...

[hotspotproductions]

that guy flying at 2:50....wau....great vid thanx

[matt024mjd]

3:39 must have sh!t himself

[RetroGamerr1991]

2:35 looks like the Vanderbilt Parkway before it was a parkway.

[rocajl34]

vintage A+

[43racer43]

how did anyone servive!!!

[aniyn]

These are hard to watch. They didn't even have seatbelts back then, so I'm guessing a lot of these guys didn't make it.

[Fanliga77]

Racers of the last century

[mohollywood]

chilling and intense!!!!
