Richard's speed crash

by Volker Weber

Comments

Two records in one day. Unrecognised UK land speed record, and fastest car crash. Not bad..

I cant see in any way that he could have avoided that accident..

Lucky, Brave man...

I wonder what would have happend if he (in that 4/10s of a second) had pulled the parachute ? ... granted, they say that the average driver uses at least 3/10ths of a second from the time they see an obstruction to hitting the brake peddle so it would be asking a lot of someone not intimately familiar with the controls.

Maybe the afterburner would have put a nice round hole in the parachute?
