Define “survive”. Nick spent some time in the hospital, but is good now. However, his friend was still barely alive last time I checked. If Nick is even the slightest bit human, he’ll eventually run into some emotional stress about basically killing his friend.
Edit: Graziano, a U.S. Marine and a former member of Nick’s pit crew, was not wearing a seatbelt. The eye and brain injuries he sustained are expected to leave him in a nursing home the rest of his life.
Wear your seat belts kids.
