at 0:05 you see his head hit conctete, that's why he died

The difference is the head hit the concrete wall. INDYCAR was concerned about this type of crash when the new Dallara chassis started development, and a rear bumper was added. This, the 1992 Japanese F3000 fatal at Suzuka, the 1996 CART fatal at Toronto, and the 2011 INDYCAR fatal at Las Vegas had heads hitting a fixed barrier (concrete or fence post). The extension of the airbox past the driver's head is likely the next idea.

R.I.P Marco Campos and Marco Simoncelli

very unlucky racing incident!

That is an appalling accident.... one of the worst I've ever seen.

I've already got you, dangling head downwards at the end of a string, crying and wailing as everyone laughs at your floppy head.

@textthing You would have to come get me first. And I bet you are just some fucking bitch who complains but never does shit about it. Texting is gay by the way...

How about we drop you on your head then make one of you? I guarantee belly laughs all around.

OMFG i`ve never seen this crash. His head is just crushed on the wall.

This looks so similar to Mark Webber's 2010 crash.
This race was aired live in Brazil and... watching Senna's death in 1994 and Campos's in 1995 was so hard. Last race of the season, last lap, battle for a non-scoring position... and then such a crash. RIP Marco

In 2007 Ernesto Viso luckely survived a similar crash at Magny Cours. They should have placed higher fences at some places on the track.
