Negative? No. Stupid? Yes. Hence calling him ignorant. Granted I had to click on his post and yours to see what was said since normally I have you both on ignore. ---

Reports are saying it hit him with a force of 1600lbs. ---

he’s just REALLY lucky that the impact was taken by the helmet itself, not solely the face shield. Otherwise he would be dead and they would have found nothing but a spring where the head should be. ---

Yeah, here is some additional info paraphrased from Axis: > I’ll summarize news reports from Italian media which seem to be a bit more in depth this morning: > Massa remains stable but in a medically induced coma. He underwent a CAT scan which reportedly found “reassuring results” as described by Peter Bazso, the director of the military clinic where the Brazilian is being treated. > There was an attempt to bring Massa out of the coma in the morning so he could communicate with his relatives in from Brazil but it is unclear if he responded to them. > Dr, Bazso goes on to say he was sedated again and that he will be kept in the pharmacological coma for the next 48 hours. > When asked specificlally in Massa’s condition was life threatening the official answered “Yes, of course”. However as physicians out there will know, this is a normal description for anyone who has had a severe head injury and is on a respirator. > Rubens Barrichello has said he was at the hospital and that physicians were not able to reassure him that " he will be back to normal". The FIA physician Gary Hartstein is quoted saying weeks if not months will be needed to have complete indication on Massa recovery. > (Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere Della Sera) ---

Just heartbreaking. It was very hard to actually watch qualifying knowing this was going to happen at some point. Freak, unfortunate accident. ---
