colodude18 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Having been rescheduled several times due to wild fires, last Sunday the annual Pikes Peak uphill climb was finally held. The road up Pikes Peak is extremely treacherous with many ravines and no barriers or walls to keep the cars on the road. Here's a video of a horrific crash of one of the contenders. Amazingly, both the driver and navigator suffered only minor injuries!!

egott_91 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wow. I don't think there was a single body panel left afterwards! But glad to hear they only had minor injuries. Without the cage, they'd be dead for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbusdrvr Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Wow! If you saw that without reading you would say no way someone survives a crash like that even with a great cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
