I remember Terry Vaughn being ejected from his car at Sun Prairie Wi back in the 80's. Conjecture at the time was the arm restraint straps got under the lap belt lever and opened it. After that I had a tab welded on my lap belt lever to prevent that from happening.
Great to hear he's ok! Very scary and I don't think most would've survived. Here's to happy endings! On a side note, glad to see Rico is still racing. I always liked him as a driver.
Yes very rare anymore that restraints or anything thing that protects you. I remember I believed it was Dale Earnhardt Jr for got to put his belts on. Heck skydiving instructors have for gotten their own parachutes.
@@briansmith5469 I think he's the one who unlocked his belts accidentally by releasing the lock while swerving back and forth. He also didn't get his steering wheel latched in place and pulled it off of the shaft while on the track. Had to turn the shaft with his hand to stay out of the wall. There's footage from inside the car of both incidents.
Yeah right, have you ever put one on? If your racing harness is on property it isn't coming unfastened.... I'd be interested to see the belts but I'm guessing they weren't latched
I've spent my whole life at the track and raced over 20 years now and I've seen loose belts cause issues and improperly installed belts rip outta the floor but never seen a latch fail... my fear has always been the opposite.... my belt not coming off in a fire
God was watching over this young man last night. The outcome could have been catastrophic. Thank you to all the first responders and medical staff. Prayers continuing 🙏
Very lucky young man.. However. Its inexcusable the safety systems in the car failed that badly. The sanctioning body and race engineers should be looking to see why and what can be done so it doesn't happen again.
Love watching these cars but they are very violent praying for ya you may want to take a weekend off though but I know how it is if you don't get the back up out and ready
Slow it down and you can see the seat belt failed more than likely if failed where it was attached unlikely it broke as a racer we need to make safety top priority I get it normally top priority is how to make it faster when we should be putting safety 1st speed 2nd the good lord was looking out for him
It’s a cerebral hematoma. They heal over a bit of time as long as the person takes the doctor’s advice and follows instructions. It’s common in concussions. He is very lucky and should recover fully.
Hey Folks...Time to pay a little more at each track . The key here is the response of the staff . . Well trained staff and equipment makes the difference. thousands of people volunteer every weekend across our planet.. its time for track owners to PAY for training.... unify your Track requirements on emergency staff and corner workers... I also suggest a stamina/strength test if you don't do it... the government will... no one wants that...
glad he is going to be ok i have seen massive top fuel cars wreck at over 300 and their is no excuse for this too happen either a harnnese failed or he did not have it tight in or a weld or tab failed in any case something needs to change
Glad the kid is okay, but there is NO reason for a driver to eject from one of these cars. He should be forbidden from ever competing again as he clearly is a liability to the sport. Any promoter should demand a $50 million dollar cash bond before allowing him on the track.
It's " news" because being ejected from a midget / sprint / silver crown car is very very rare nowadays. It's "news" so we can follow the story and find out how and why this happened and possibly save someone's life down the road. Whether it was a malfunction or user error I can guarantee you that the father is not going to let his son strap into the car if he thought there was any chance of him coming out of it. This kid is so fortunate to even still be with us, let alone be in as good a shape as he is. Comments like yours are ridiculous.
They know they are playing the game!! We as fans know their playing the game!! We all still care about the drivers!! So on that note when a horrific wreck happen sorry to bust your hard heart it becomes news!!! I myself very grateful he's ok!!!

Prayers to him and his family! This dude is a legend if he survives this
Prayers for this young man. Sounds like angels were around him.
The way that wreck happened, the angels kept the weight of race car off of him
Sounds like the angels were doing something else when the fucking wreck actually happened, now doesn’t it?
@@nathanderover6929 for real.
@@nathanderover6929 fuck off atheist
🤣
God bless him and his family!❤❤❤
Prayers for a full recovery for the young man and God comfort his family and friends 🙏
Great to hear he's ok! Very scary and I don't think most would've survived. Here's to happy endings!
On a side note, glad to see Rico is still racing. I always liked him as a driver.
Nobody strapped him in??! Wtf.
I really appreciated the interview with Rico. I had no audio so I was counting on visuals...
I think the first he better do is figure out his restraints and why they didn't work.
Yes very rare anymore that restraints or anything thing that protects you. I remember I believed it was Dale Earnhardt Jr for got to put his belts on. Heck skydiving instructors have for gotten their own parachutes.
The belts worked. Somehow he pulled the lever. My guess would be arm restraint.
@@MosinMan76254 Seen arm restraint too low on arm hook the latch. But most latches are now resistant to snagging.

Can I ask one question. How do you get ejected from the car. When you have a 5 or 6 point harness on?????
Latch faliure
Yeah right, have you ever put one on? If your racing harness is on property it isn't coming unfastened.... I'd be interested to see the belts but I'm guessing they weren't latched
I totally agree with. I've driven racecars for 3 yrs and I always triple check my belts. And after hearing this. Making me wonder
I've spent my whole life at the track and raced over 20 years now and I've seen loose belts cause issues and improperly installed belts rip outta the floor but never seen a latch fail... my fear has always been the opposite.... my belt not coming off in a fire
Agreed
Glad to hear he is gonna be ok looks like a safety belt issue either they malfunctioned or they were not locked
That’s what I’m thinking because I’ve seen 410 sprints flip 10 times and never seen them get ejected prayer’s for the young man
@@andreweyerly8455 I know right I saw a thing on TH-cam I think he was getting released from the hospital today he was very lucky
Its been speculated that his arm restraint caught the latch on his belts causing them to open which isn't common but it has happened before.

Gotta remember to keep them belts pulled tight or they will not work like they are supposed to.
Small spot of blood on the brain. That don’t sound good😢
Better than a big spot. 😉

How do we let this happen
Don't watch but never tell me what I can and can't do
Safety Devices aren't always perfect. May be user error. Or just a technical failure
@@andrewhartings9795 I'm betting user error, or something wasn't installed correctly.. which could still be considered user error.

Rico a brew lol glad the kids doing as well has he is cuz that’s amazing in its own right
That is Rico Abreu, best sprint car driver alive and our favorite driver.

When is this even "news". You play the game....You pay the price!
Cause now they think everyone should send him woke money.
Sorry you have such a miserable life. To bad your Dad didn’t take you to the car races when you were young
