Damn, judging by some of those crashes I don’t know if it’s worse to have a roof over your head or not. At 1:36, I’m pretty sure that’s a leg straight up in the air inside that car. That last crash at the end was pretty brutal too, that driver was not moving after he was ejected (although I’m not surprised either).

Some of those looked intense. What kinds of speeds were they reaching back in the 20’s, 30’s or even earlier?

I wonder how many of those crashes resulted in death for the driver?

I love at the end how 50 people go running to see what’s up with that guy… as cars are still racing by.

At 2:22, the guy seriously looks like a crash test dummy flying through the air.
