I looked it up. He survived, and information is a little scarce on his current condition, but he apparently suffered a collapsed lung, and a bunch of bruising and a cut on his leg. He's out of the hospital now.

His head was restrained in the car, so during all those rolls, it didn't snap around and break his neck. I'm surprised his brain didn't get literally scrambled though. I'd think flipping at that speed, his brain would turn to jello inside his skull.

I could have included that info, I guess...Sorry.

Here's the same crash, in slow motion. In a rough count, I count fourteen-sixteen times the top and bottom of that car swap places, barrel rolls and endovers combined.

There's probably some rule that they pick up all the debris to prevent others from hitting it and also wiping out. That would be a sucky job that would take a couple days. A debris field at least half a mile long and a hundred yards wide.

You'd need to do it systematically to make sure you got everything. Maybe set out cones and just go back and forth with a pickup truck and a couple of guys, moving the cones 10 feet each time you finish a row.

And then you have to replace the divots.

The vid does the 'splaining:



Also, that guy said the ball was "a foot" back from the post...Ain't you Brits on this here new-fangled "Metric System"?

cool video.

UNLIKE the egg, the guy's head is only rotating (roughly) in one direction. the egg REVERSES direction several times, and at high speed. it's that reversing that shears the liquid from the shell causing the mixing.
