Message	Open wheel cars are designed to disintegrate like that. Most of the safety is built into the cockpit. If you watch the video carefully, right after the collision you can see the cockpit spinning by itself when it goes out of the picture on the right hand side. Most people thought that Kenny was over the fence, but he was still inside that cockpit on the track. This all happend at well over 200mph, and Kenny will still survive even if he hurt his feet really bad. So I think the car did pretty good as far as the safety is concerned. -------------------------------------------------------------- Archives - The #1 weapon against genuine ignorance. --------------------------------------------------------------
