"Thank goodness for the aeroscreen"
Understatement of the century.
The Areo screen/halo is the best safety innovation to come along in years.
Over the past twenty five years. HANS, SAFER Barrier, Aeroscreen. That would have been awful without the Aeroscreen.
When halo came out, i hated it. Now i love it.
At the same time, imagine Grosjean's crash in F1, but being trapped in there by another car's tyre. Frightening even to think about!
Haloscreen. That’s a cool name for what Indycar uses for cockpit protection.
in decades!
Indy car safety team is second to none. Really impressive how that was handled.
Indeed, reaction times to crashes are so fast, the teams are underway before the crashed cars have even come to a full stop.
The safety team in IndyCar is easily the one of the best in all of motorsports. These guys are absolute legends.
Guys and gals. Lots of amazing women take care of us all at the track.
What I never understand they keep racing in Indy car when trucks are on track but not in F1
If you can find it, there is a documentary called Rapid Response, and it talks how Dr. Steven Olvey invented track side medicine at Indy out of nothing.
There's a documentary about them called 'Yellow Yellow Yellow' if you haven't seen it. It goes into a lot of detail on James Hinchcliffe's big wreck where he got impaled by the suspension.
@@MScotty90 That has Dr. Terry Trammel, who is also in Rapid Response. I have seen both.
That accident came out of nowhere
Yeah, very last lap. I was at this race and it caught everyone off guard since 1st through about 10th had already crossed the finish.
Not for nothing;
Wreck or crash. Accidents happen unintentionally, without apparent or deliberate cause.
That's why when Dale Jr. calls a race moment, he always uses wreck or crash.
The things that stand out to me as someone who watches mostly F1: The safety crew is astounding. They don't mess around they're just THERE. Massive respect for that. Also the reactions from the drivers after the crash are pure gold. "All good just get this f@#er off me" was my favorite
A lot has to do with prestaging teams at every track entrance. In the old times, you had maybe two or three teams and they weren't always right where the crash happened.
Dr Gary Hartstein wanted a full time safety crew for F1 modeled off the Indycar crew when he was the medical chief. FIA shut down the plan based off costs. Like he said in F1 you're relying on track volunteers most of the time who only have rudimentary training. The Indycar safety team is made up of full time paramedics and firefighters who train specifically for what they might encounter in the series.
Thank goodness for the Aeroscreen.
And once again, a massive, MASSIVE amount of props to the AMR Safety Team for yet again showing why they are the best in the business. Just an incredible bunch of men and women.
I love the sign language from that safety worker. Probably the crew working on the upside down car have control of the radio, so that safety crew member did an awesome job of getting his point across without using the radio.
Wreck looked like something you'd see on iracing
damned netcode
@@Salod7806 lol
I literally said that exact thing when I saw the replay glad he’s okay tho
Rossi out of fuel in the racing groove? Jeez!
Looks like he ran out in the middle of 1 & 2 - probably carried out there by the already-present momentum from corner entry.
@@HisBortnessyes but then why blame the other guy when it’s clear he had nowhere to go?
@@timechanger9162idk
Didn’t know it was possible to flip at Iowa
Anything is possible at Iowa...you just have to believe!
Colton Herta goes into catchfence at Iowa
th-cam.com/video/vT8awnEalQ0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZKbj6x9GD_qkdTgP
The cars were running a lap average of 185mph in Quali and 170+ mph during the race. Definitely fast enough to upside down.
Herta almost did it in 2020, it's not really impossible
Yeah, both races felt like Talladega speeds at a short track. Pretty crazy
Sting Ray Rob can do the seemingly impossible! 😀
Haven't seen that type of wreck for an indycar recently in the race that is i missed the race sadly both of Leigh diffeys last indycar races I wish him well with Olympic coverage and hoping he will do well with nascar coverage beginning at Richmond. Scariest crash in indycar I've seen in awhile at a track not named Indianapolis.
Absolute chaos, glad everyone's okay
Wow the halos literally saved lives
Aero screen*. But yeah. That was a life threatening without head protection for sure.
it's not a halo though
@@stevesgaming7475Same base concept. Aeroscreen just looks better at the cost of it being less structurally sound with some visual distortion to the driver
@@Christoph5782 aeroscreen also protects from any flying debris
@@Christoph5782I think the tradeoffs make sense because of the higher speeds in Indycar compared to F1, and the associated risk of debris at these higher speeds on ovals.
AMR safety team is gold. It's to the point that, when I watch an old race, it makes me furious to see how long the accident response used to take.
Shows how good a decision it was to add aero screens
"We slowed down without warning on the racing line but it's Sting Ray Robb's fault"
???
Exactly. Rossi is such a desperate clown. He knew he caused it all, and he's trying to blame Sting Ray.
@Gremlin65 that makes him an ever bigger bellend
That’s gross. Irresponsible on Rossi’s part.
Sting Ray is in a incident every race, dude is clueless
if there wasn't for the aeroscreen we would now be mourning 2 drivers from this wreck, and to think there was so much resistance for the halo / aeroscreen when the concept was first introduced
Okay, Karen!
The aeroscreen saved Kirkwood's life
Oh, stop it, there have been far worse things, even where helmets were hit by parts or cars. Don't always exaggerate.
@@highlander5521🥴
@highlander5521 I don't know if you can see but there's a tyre on his head otherwise
@@highlander5521 easy for you to say that huh
@@Lastname6955 yes i see? and? this is not the first one?! helmets are not only decorative objects
Really impressive leadership from the safety team guy
If there's a young IndyCar driver as cool-headed, articulate and always the vision of poise no matter what's thrown at him as Kyle, I've yet to see it. What an asset Andretti has in him, both as a likely future title and 500 winning driver and every other facet someone can bring to a team. The future is literally unlimited for him.
Okay, but mad props to that cameraperson for sticking with the shot and catching the other cars coming at them. That's some solid camera work.
I almost got a heart attack from that crash and the reaction from the announcers
Hope everyone is ok! 😧
Sting Ray Robb is ok but got airlifted to a near by hospital for further evaluation
@@Old_School_Nascar Airlifted isn't usually good, though. I'm worried about his back.
@@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044Airlift only because of the location
I hope Sting Ray will be ok. Scary landing.
He was cleared from the medical center a few hours ago. Report was from his team on X.
I was at the Pocono race today so i missed this live. Wow! The aero screen really saved Sting Ray and Kirkwood. A few years ago both Robb and Kirkwood aren't walking away.
Sting Ray wouldve been fine without it, it didnt have an affect on his crash. As for kirkwood, yeah it definitely mightve saved kirkwoods life
Also something to note in regard to your last sentence - sting ray actually didnt walk away, he was put on a stretcher. Luckily he seems to be fine now though
Sting Ray literally got nowhere to go, that's not even his fault!!!
God we haven't seen an Indycar crash like that outside of Indy in a while.
Glad everyone is okay Kirkwood and Robb had insane crashes
Sting Ray Robb is the most American name I've ever heard
The aero screen in Indy and Halo in F1 are the best safety innovations since the HANS device.
And thankfuly for HALO, is almost everywhere in motorsports
Dude if this was before an aero screen this would’ve been a fatality
Jesus Christ, that’s monstrous. Glad everyone is alright
The aero screen saved people.
Rossi just out there driving around. He thought he saw a lemonade stand
3:24 I love how his response is just “get this car off me” 🤣
Indycar onboard cams: I can withstand a blow and be moved without turning off
F1 onboard cams: Is this gravel? I don't like gravel
A few years ago, before the Aeroscreens, that could have been a fatality or very serious injury. Amazing how far this sport has come with driver protection
Man i was getting claustrophobic watching buddy be stuck in that car 😂😂😂
Great reporting, David! Thanks
Did Rossi engineer really blame Sting Ray
😮
No, it was more of a " yeah....stingray crashed once again"
Yes, because it was Stink Ray's fault. He totally wasn't paying attention to the fact that Rossi slowed.
@@kingoftipton1 Nuh uh
@@kingoftipton1Rossi ran out of fuel, no predicting it there
@@kingoftipton1 You must have room temp IQ if you think sting ray could react that fast accelerating out of the corner
1:53-2:09 I AM NOT COMING IN BEHIND YOU AGAIN OLD MAN!!! 🏎💥
Man oh man dude I hope everyone’s okay that was scary especially sting ray robb his car nearly touched the catch fence if he hit the fence the wreck could’ve been worse not only that he could’ve been hurt or killed
That’s a wild ride! Holy cow! and they walked away. Kudos for the halo’s, a life saver.
Aeroscreen saved at least 3 drivers today....wow. Thank God everyone is okay
Thank the people who designed the safety equipment, the people who pushed for it to be implemented, and the people who lost their lives in the wrecks that led to all those safety measures.
@@IstasPumaNevadaYeah.
But also God.
@tacotuesday77 barley. The great saftey of the cars saved them.
@@tacotuesday77 Engineers are working every day to prevent God from killing us off.
@@AidanNoBrakes Yeah. You can give credit to God too.
I know it's kind of the done thing to mock Robb, but nothing he could do there. Shades of Mike Conway and Hunter-Raey at Indy. Glad everyone seems to be alright.
@Gremlin65 off pace to suddenly out of fuel and massive deceleration out of a fast corner are two very different things. If rossi was off pace he shouldn't have been in the primary line at all.
@Gremlin65 carpenters opinion isn’t worth much. It’s still 100% on Rossi and his team.
@Gremlin65 he agreed with Kirkwood, and most, that Rossi shouldn't have been on the racing line. Rossi shouldn't have been on the line, and him being there at a dangerously low speed caused the incident. It's the racing equivalent of driving 35 in the left lane in a 70 zone. Rossi was a rolling hazard to everyone else on track.
@@jacobb.298closer analogy would be doing 5mph downhill on a mountain highway around a blind 40mph bend/curve.
Rossi did exactly the same thing at Indy 500 suddenly slowing down on the final straight and Dixon almost collected him the same way SRR did. Watch the last lap onboards from indy... Indycar should take a look at it.
Thank god for all the safety measures they have put in place 🙏 glad everyone involved is okay
I didn't think Rossi expected to run out of fuel
Did you listen to the video? Kirkwood was told Rossi was running out of fuel, how would Rossi not know he was running out of fuel? This is on Rossi, get your car of the racing line if you are going to be that much slower. Robb coming off turn 2 at speed has nowhere to go. You saw the other guys reacting to the wreck lifted and spinning themselves out.
@@anubiam3004 I don't think he expected to run out of fuel at that point in the track
He blamed sting ray!
@@ChasingChampionships Ok
If this same crash happened a decade ago you're probably looking at multiple fatalities/serious injuries.
Man shout out to the Safety Teams and Trackside Marshalls that put their lives/time on hold for our ability to race.
Either at the highest level or a local track day.
Shades of CART Fury. Thank goodness for engineering
За это мы и любим Индикар
the most terrifying jumpscare in horror movie history
That’s scary
I just told myself a few days ago that Sting Ray Robb Was Gonna Go Upside Down At Sometime. I absolutely knew that was gonna happen without watching the race.
Very dangerous racing these small tracks. These cars are very delicate.
I was there, insane crash.
A testament to the safety in IndyCar as well as racing in general. Halo, Windscreen, HANS, and many more inventions and regulations have made it so we don’t literally have these drivers pass away due to accidents anymore
Glad everyone is ok.
Without the halo on the aeroshield, there would've been casualties
Did Rossi really blame Robb for the accident?? Can't find an interview of him saying that... anyway, what a scary crash... 😢😢😢
Loving all the cameras these days.
Another W for the aeroscreen.
I thought this was a IRacing wreck just looking briefly at the thumbnail
Oh my goodness!
Aeroscreen is something IndyCar shoulda had a long time ago
"...from 22nd on the grid...and Sting Ray Robb is upside down!! What a sudden change of topic 🤣🤣🤣 Glad SRR is okay!!
The driver of the blue car just didn’t care for the driver he was on top of.
You can hear Rossi back off the gas mid corner
The car ran out of fuel, confirmed by the team in their press release
the fact that he rolled though..
When the camera turns into a crash on the last lap 😱
So hard to witness 💔 praying for all! RESPECT 🙏
Classic Mclaren blaming someone else
Craziness... I hope everyone is ok...
1:59 wow , look at that air time, yeah it's in slow motion buddy
He wrecked during the 500, dumped it a couple months ago at Barber, wrecked it yet again a couple weeks ago at Leguna, & now Iowa. Dude’s a huge threat to every driver on the track.
How many times have people said that about Grosjean in the past few seasons?
@@StarkRaven59 Crashjean and Wrecksi both are threats to those around them.
" 50 feet Russ.....50 feet..."
that was crazy
and 7 days later another up side down indycar this time on the streets of Tortonto
people originally didnt like Halo yet its proven itself time and time again
"yeah I'm fine, whateve"
The first time I saw the crash I think: "They were filming an IndyCar movie during the race? Because that crash looks like straight out of Hollywood"
Unreal crash, I still don't believe it's real. Great everyone involved it's OK
0:34 I'm pretty sure he knows there is a freaking car on top of him.......
first five seconds is amazing
Any sting ray Robb onboards
Why is Rossi in the racing groove when he knows he’s out of gas?
Diffey had a great last race
I wonder if Sting Ray injured his hands on the steering wheel when the front wheel hit Rossi's car
Sting Ray Lobb
That’s speedway racing.
Anyone else interested about GuyCare now?
Under this is an ad for flights
Fp1 will is gonna have field day with this 1
"Sting Ray Robb?!"🤨
Oh my God!
Indycar is the best racing and aeroscreen safe SRR, AR,EC and KK. AS safe drivers all the time. Halo is ok. AS is Great.
Agree
IndyCar Aeroscreen > F1 2024 Halo device.
Wait, Rossi is blaming Robb because he knew he was running out of gas and stayed in the racing groove?
Que negócio PAVOROSO!😮😮
