I used to watch him in the late 60's when he drove CAMRA super modified cars in the Pacific NW. I remember his beautiful metallic red Ford powered modified being the fastest at our local track. They used to call him 'The Denver Ace'. RIP Jim.

That's a very hard hit at a bad angle. May not be fatal in most cases today but even today very easily could be. You run into a concrete wall at that speed and angle especially in an open wheel race car and at the least your legs are going to take a hit and the decel alone is going to hurt you. Some types of crashes are fatal in any era.

In a way it was probably fitting they used a hearse as an ambulance at Indy back in the day, death seemed to be just part of the game.
