Watching that accident, you couldn't help think of a lot of "what ifs?". Biggest one, just a freak thing, if car #36 hadn't caught Earnhardt's just right and steered the skid head on, he hits the wall broadside, the force of the crash is absorbed by the body and frame of the car, and he walks away. There's nothing worse than a head-on crash, the human body can't stand the forces involved in a decelleration from 180 mph to zero in an eyeblink. Those spectacular looking rollovers, where the car comes apart, are the survivable ones because the body of the car is absorbing all the energy of the crash.
Patrick,......ah, what's the use.
