Mike Conway's Indy 500 Crash

I can’t believe no one posted this yet. It’s the most epic crash I’ve seen on quite a while:

Ugh. Reminds me of the crash in Toronto that killed a few spectators. I can’t even remember what year it was in.

wow that was so gnarly.

if i was him, id make that first picture a poster for my home

@ 0:28 That’s incredibly lucky how his head cleared the car.

they got some amazing cameras nowadays.

Watched this live - at first they didn’t really show it as it was the last lap - but the replays were ridiculous. He only injured his leg.

dude got away with just a broken leg right?

mega-lucky.

i’d stop racing after that.

Since I’m sure people besides me are wondering…

Conway was incredibly lucky. He suffered a fractured lower left leg and a compression fracture in his back. He will miss at least three months of racing – but he’s alive.
