A dragster is the last vehicle you want to have throttle issues
Especially when you know the crash is coming, despite doing everything you can.
Scott Kalitta rip
I think it would be a WRC
@@satolatifi24 wrc cars are insanely safe though. drivers can get out unscathed going off a mountain
@@captainalieth Also WRC is not that fast. It looks fast, but aren't when compared to IndyCars or NASCAR.
Im sure anyones whos experienced it can tell you that standing on the brakes and not slowing down a bit at the end of the straight is one of the most horrifying feelings you can have in a car
Bought a Volvo 240 for 500 euro’s back in 1999, drove it home, then at a large junction, the brakes stopped working, I saw the late night trucks coming close, heavy-load, going 80, I abused the engine-brake and gears so hard to get that thing stopped it was insane..
Got away with my life and a good lesson
I had it happen on the track. Pure terror.
@Karel P. Glad you made it ✌🏼🤙🏼
Had this happen once in my car. Stainless brake line blew and pedal went to the floor .
Luckily the ebake worked and there was enough run off to slow the car and not nail the wall.
For sure. The only "good" part is that it doesn't usually last long, but it can still feel like forever.
Indycar 2021 is scary. Already going fast, but then just having the throttle randomly go 0 to 100% straight into a wall. That's gotta be scary.
McLaren think the throttle potentiometer broke durring the downshift causing Felix to speed up before the impact.
It really was. I Remember watchung this live and being worried
didn’t Felix’s car break the retaining wall as well? scary stuff
@@98DogCcoin and both of his legs.
Stuck throttle's are scary. Happened to me in a rally and I was little more than a passenger ... until the car found the river.
Once I was going skinny dipping with this slut I met on tinder.. everything was going well until some moron in a rally car came out of nowhere and crashed into the river.
throttles*
The man nearly died and you're correcting his grammar... appalling behaviour
@@RininGamingYT Grammar Police are here to keep us safe. A crime is a crime.
No kill switch? I understand a dragster may not stop if you cut the spark, but in a rally car?
That dragster is DAMN lucky he smoked it out of the gate. If that throttle hung open at the end of even half a run that would have been a very different story.
Wasn't that the reason it happened in the first place?
@@einseins9328 it blew the supercharger off the line and stuck the throttle semi-open
How was there no kill switch?? its kinda dumb
@@AyaxRo Very different time I guess
@@AyaxRo probably after that now there is lmao
Johnson being uninjured is a true statement for the safety in Nascar.
Definitely! Denny Hamlin also had a similar wreck in that same spot at the Glen in 2011, and Hamlin's throttle also got stuck.
Seems like they’ve been going a bit backwards in safety recently
This was pre-HANS. Dale didn't survive a much less nasty looking crash a year later in Daytona. How JJ survived that crash without a scar is beyond me.
@@markussass1144 That wall had a lot more give than the one Dale hit. Dale went from 160 to 0 almost instantaneously. Dale experienced like, 50G's. I also still think its pretty likely Dale wasnt wearing his seatbelt correctly and the lack of full face helmet didnt help any, though that alone wouldnt have saved him probably. Im not really bashing on Dale here, it was just a different time and he was from a different generation of racer.
That was crazy. I’m amazed he walked away from that car so casually, the g force would have been immense
Haven’t seen a thing but I already know it’s going to be a hard one to watch
Thank you HANS. So many lives saved.
@@jordanfires9777 that doesn't matter since most of these were saved by the HANS device 😑
@@jordanfires9777 nice try on the ratio, however I did not ask nor do I care.
@@jordanfires9777 as did you 😀
I doubt Elsa would say the same thing.
@@jordanfires9777 you need help, idk if you realize how sad and pathetic you are but it's not healthy in the long run 😧
The guy in the 370Z, his reactions were insane. As soon as he realized his brakes were out, he downshifted to slow the car as much as possible, then at the last moment, spun 90 degrees so as to have the best impact possible. Smart guy!
Not criticizing the drivers actions, but hitting the wall sideways is the worst way to crash. The chassis has less deformation and the safety equipment is less effective in sideways crashes like that. I can't even imagine how much his neck must have hurt the next morning.
@@barnsnoble7066 Instincts took over i imagine, i know i would prefer to go shoulder first like rugby, than feet first and imagine my legs getting shattered. Very little time to react. but im no car safety expert so ill take your word for it.
@@barnsnoble7066 I think it was the best of a bad situation though, neck forward, backward or sideward, it's all bad!
@@barnsnoble7066 I'm with you - I've been racing a long time, put a 350z into a wall head on at about 60 mph and my strong guess is he did NOT mean to put it in sideways as he would absolutely know that's a BAD way to go in, for all the reasons you stated. I would _always_ choose head on vs. sideways at that kind of speed.
Not seeing where your going till the impact and not being able to brace got to be scary. I heard bracing for impact is worse though. I can't imagine losing confidence in your car as a pro racer.
I had a brake failure in a kart once. When I hit the crash bags, my chest hit the steering wheel so hard that I bent the steering shaft and ended up on my side. Best thing to do in a kart with a stuck throttle is pull the spark plug wire. Thank goodness I've only had to do that once.
Errrr, ign switch!!
@@ldnwholesale8552 it's a 2 cycle Yamaha with an outboard starter. No ignition/kill switch
Where Is the Spark Plug Wire?
@@ShiroMookai_44 on the exposed engine behind you
6:15 Props to operator for reacting lighting quick, we get this awesome footage.
There was a really scary one in MotoGP in the last few years, also at turn 1 at the Red Bull Ring, when Vinales had to jump off his bike at around 200mph as his brakes had failed.
That was insane, very scary. Thank god he jumped very early.
Kmph*
@@abliviustrey Nope mph. 320kph or 200mph.
@@tdyerwestfield the moment he jumped off the bike he was going at 200 Kmph aprox
Yea that was insane!!!
5:07 fanboost activated
This has actually happened twice with Fanboost activations. Daniel Abt at Mexico and Nyck De Vries at Mexico both got a stuck throttle when activating fanboost.
🤣
6:20 the camera operators reaction time…👌🏼
7:18 Cory McClenathan actually had a full head of hair when he got into the car that day.
I've had the brake lines bust in an '03 Ford Expedition, and while I only got up to around 20mph, that was the most terrifying moment of my life. I had two options: take it off the road and potentially into someone's house, or risk coasting through the red light of a busy intersection. Thankfully it stopped on it's own about 15 feet before the "point of no return".
While these are professional drivers, who know the risks and train/practice for them, I still couldn't imagine going 150mph or more, and _not_ being able to stop..
Had a brake failure in an Autobianchi Y10, approaching an intersection at around 60kph (37mph i think), it wasn't really that scary, just yanked the handbrake and downshifted 3 gears, got it a little bit sideways then stopped right on the line.
The Y10 being manual definitely saved the day, but the Expedition doesn't look like it got that luxury.
The safety things on tracks and cars are incredible, i watched all these thinking "no one can survive that", and they just walk away
Thank you for putting McClenathan incident. He couldn't do anything inside that dragcar cockpit.
1:43 classic Austraaalian commentary for ya ...."undiminished velocity" 🤣🤣
Fkn oath
I was driving a cheap rental truck, obviously poorly mainted, in downtown and let off the pedal, approaching a red light. The throttle stuck and I thought what to do, with the car in front of me coming closer and closer at 40mph. Stepped on the clutch and the motor reved up. I managed to get my foot under the gas pedal to lift it up. A heartstopping moment, but nothing compared to this here.
my worst nightmare
These barricades are such impressive yet basic inventions
insanely impressed by the driving at 6:16. dude knew he was gonna crash and 180d that thing so fast so the rear end would take most of the impact, genius.
I don't think thats why he tried to spin it. It could have been everything from rear brakes locking up and the car naturally spinning down to him just trying to get the car sideways to slow as much as possible. Your not really thinking about trying to back it into the barrier with such a small amount of time between issue and impact.
RIP to Adam Petty and Kenny Irwin Jr.
Victims of a hung throttle, at the same track in an eerily similar fashion.
The 370 crash seemed more like brake failure. It sounded like he was trying to use the transmission to slow the car before the broadside hit. 3:52
I think so. It's actually insanely quick thinking. Changes down as much as he can to use engine braking, then flicks it sideways to hit side-on instead of head-on.
@@CeladonHairExtraordinaire And to go in passenger's side as opposed to driver's side
Some insanely fast thinking to potentially save himself from serious injuries
Great thinking for such a scary situation, I would say no breaks are far more scary than stuck throttle since there are multiple ways to cut power and you can still break
4:10 Did anybody else saw the second crash in the background?
If you make a part 2: Wehrlein in Hyderabad 2023 and Schumacher at Silverstone 1999 are some options. There was also a Mosler at the Britcar Silverstone 24hr in 2011 which might be out there.
Nascar, Mark Martin 1994
Denny Hamlin at Watkins Glen 2011
The amount of time that chap at the end on the dragster had to see that hit coming 😩 dam that must have been terrifying
2:33 Rumour has it, no Nascar has attempted to turn right since then.
They’ve added more road courses since then
least funniest nascar joke ive seen
Thanks for putting this together. We forget how dangerous Motorsport is. This is a sobering moment. Lots of respect to the drivers who seem almost superhuman.
Dragster was like 10% on throttle imagine unleashing his power
It's strange how I feel less worried with the newer clips, A testament to the evolution of safety in racing.
The allan Newton crash looked violent
And with the safety back then it is a surprise that he was mostly fine.
I tried doing some digging, but he was a small time racer, not much info, but he did compete in a few more races in 1986 and 87 (similar to the years prior, just ~2 races per season), which indicates he was mostly fine from this crash, and like typical for the era, had the balls to continue
@@dergeneralfluff he suffered leg injuries but beyond that made a full recovery. died recently in his 80s from cancer.
Quite a famous crash that one. The armco cushioned the impact. Which it actually does well. At Calder. I believe the car is still around.
Only a broken ankle for Alan Newton. Unbelievable!
The guys in the older videos/cars without hans or the newer style seats with the increased head supports and netting were extremely lucky.
4:53 that driver did that. He knew he was out of control from the throttle or no brakes and he hooked it sideways for that impact. Turned the car away from his side. Great reaction!
I was actually at the St Petersburg race that year. I was actually sitting in T11 (where Parante wrecked). Not only did you miss the marshall falling over, he also totaled the car due to another mechanical failure at Sebring the next race.
The wrecked at t10 . That was the first year I built that track. Since that incident we have doubled up the runoff so there is now 2 layers of block and catch fence
remember seeing felix's crash in that indycar live, u can just hear the throttle going to 100%
It's great to see most of these guys not only walking away but also getting themselves out of the car for the most part
5:51 dude's like "now I'm in a convertible"
That’s the one I’m surprised the guy survived. That’s pre-HANs device. That was an accident that easily could’ve been a basilar skull fracture. To see him moving afterwards is amazing
2:49 just watching jimmie Johnson climbing out shocks me
nobody dies because of speed, its the sudden stop on something that kills.
Nick Percat and Lee Holdsworth are both standup blokes, great guys. I reckon they probably laughed about it afterwards.
Yup. There's not anything else they could do but laugh anyway haha
4:26 He popped the rear hatch to help slow him down, just a bit too late. 😆
It’s astonishing how reliable the passive safety equipment is
I've had my brakes fail at 20mph in a pickup. Can't imagine losing brakes over 100. Because when you lose your brakes you get the distinct feeling of being in a nightmare, which is just awful.
The last one was the scariest. That dude has amazing car control
4:44 .....and ole boy is trying to GEAR DOWN to engine brake !! Just ran outta space.
The throttle pedal is the popular friend. When you're with it you're going to have fun. The brake pedal is your best friend and will get you home safe. But if it betrays you, well that can hurt worse than anything the popular friend can do.
The guy at the end was so remorseful but he did the best thing to do
5:41 are we sure that guy survived that impact? That was incredible and there was no HANS device.
Hi, I decided to investigate this out of curiosity, and found this on Wikipedia: "Newton survived the crash with nothing more than a busted knee and broken ankle (later during the race Newton was shown by race broadcaster Channel 7 sitting up and talking to medical staff as he was being placed into an ambulance)."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_Australian_Sports_Car_Championship
@@k0mori_yt and yet Dale Earnhardt died? That's crazy.
@@k0mori_yt amazing
though i guess A LOT of luck was involved
02:20 - I mean those locked up wheels look like the brakes were working to me..
There was a real nasty one featuring a Audi in a South African Touring Car series a couple of years ago.
Apparently that drag race was before the NHRA started putting netting with the sandpit. It almost didn’t stop him. And of course the scariest part is when you see the fire. Surprised he didn’t get burned.
There was a Grand Am race in 2012 where a Chevy Camaro I think had its throttle jam and went up an over the fence at Road America. That and one of the Corvettes having their brakes literally explode at Sebring are my craziest brake failure/throttle stuck moments.
some seriously nasty crashes here
Macauley Jones accident was terrifying
But predictable!!
Time stamp?
6:05
Man the 3rd clip is crazy. That’s something I do in racing games. If I can’t have 1st place no one can. He took him out 😂
Excellent video keep up the good work.
You forgot maverick viñales at the redbull ring in 2020 (MotoGP) anyways good video
What is happening with Maverick Viñales at the GP of Austria/Styria 2020?
@@RadityaPramanaPutra2001 this is footage of the accident, ruclips.net/video/j1roNTWKu_c/видео.html
he jumped of the bike due to the brakes failing
@@hondacivic-uo8ne Okay, thank you for the footage.
@@hondacivic-uo8ne I have watched it. That was scary!
I was at the Glen when Jimmy hit the foam wall on turn one. Always great Vacation at Watkins Glen. Never want to see anyone get hurt but a good wreck is fine.😊
2:24 even after a near death experience, he still apologizes. Great Sportsmanship.
Chris Eggelstons wreck at Roseville in K&N West was a carburetor failure. That was a hell of a hit
I've had drive stick on a push mower before and that was spooky can't imagine a race car.
The guy in the dragster did indeed do a superb job. He was trying to get people out of the way halfway down. Kudos sir.
It's amazing that most drivers can just walk away from a crash like that. Circuit barriers and driver safety have improved massively.
Ah the good old days when pirelli world challenge was actually watchable and not a bunch of lawyers and doctors racing eachother
I don't know why im watching this while readying my Air Brake Endorsement book XD
You missed one from the 80's. At the monster truck show at Anaheim stadium in Ca. A display of the following nights event went horribly wrong (fatal). They were going to have sand dragsters which would be tethered running a short track inside the stadium ... However for the display run at the monster truck race the car was not tethered, and the throttle stuck wide open. My girlfriend and I were very near the carnage which included the engine, diff, and spinning tires flying into the crowd. One worker on the track was smashed between the car and wall.
Don't look it up, its not a image anyone wants to see let alone experience live. We were very lucky that day but many were not.
0:57 LOL! How the big marshall lifted the little skinny race driver from the tyre barrier 😀
Oh come on man! At that speed, with adrenaline flowing and a sudden failure and these guys try to avoid further contact and walk away and talk about it! Amazing!
that Allan Newton clip is crazy the fact it wasnt any worse is put luck for its time that could have been fatal so easy
"no brakes" as they show the slow motion of all 4 wheels locked up sliding across the track...
One that I rarely see spotlighted is Captain’s Curse’s crash at Monster Jam World Finals X. Brakes failed and Alex Blackwell had to snap the steering and pitch the truck end over end in order to arrest his momentum before he cartwheeled into the stands. Thankfully it worked and he stopped tumbling in the tarped off area of the stands, where only safety officials and camera crew are allowed. After that close call, Monster Jam had dumpsters around the walls for every show they did in Vegas at Sam Boyd Stadium, until Sam Boyd closed in 2019.
Jimmy Johnson into the wall in 2000, was scary. That was one of the worst sudden stop crashes I’ve ever seen.
I was at the Detroit GP when Felix Rosenqvist had the hung throttle. The gasp from the crowd when the replay was shown was extremely loud. I'm surprised the booth mics didn't pick it up.
That second wreck going full speed straight into a wall must of been horrific. When they show the side view of how fast he was going it really put it into perspective and my stomach dropped. Add totaling a Bentley and knowing they have another car for him is sickening.
Thanks for only showing ones where they walk away, Lord knows that isnt always the case :(
Great video!
When your controller dies and your posting the best lap . On a serious note im glad nobody got killed
thats some crazy camera work at 6:14 to be able to catch that crash
its amazing to see how people can walk away when crashing at those speeds
Was watching that NHRA race when that happened, well, when it aired that day or next. Cory McClenathan looked pretty frazzeled,,with a scratchy voice. Screaming under that helmet.
I experienced a stuck throttle on a motorcycle recently. Man that is scary as hell!!! Thankfully it was on a small bike but I was at a race track.
I remember watching the Rosenqvist crash live. one of the scariest crashes I've ever seen. Can't imagine what it must've felt like in the car. so glad he's okay.
This happened to me in an old Dodge pickup that I owned. I was only going about 30mph and it was scary! I just shifted into neutral and applied the brakes. Can't imagine the throttle sticking at these speeds!
Actually...my hat is off to all the drivers and their stellar efforts to keep their cars from killing other people or themselves. It speaks to the fact that there is a very big, huge difference between race drivers and every day average drivers.
As a testament to modern motorsport safety technology, you are actually much safer in an out of control race car going 120mph than you are in a shopping mall or school.
2020 IndyPro2000 at Road America. Car had a brake failure going into turn one. Onboard video is available on the internet. Driver commented to the video that he was ok, but it was one heck of a lick.
Biggest fear in racing
Don’t know if you ever include motogp in your videos but Maverick Vinales had a scary brake failure in Austria a few years ago
If you do a part 2, could you include Dan Cammish's 2019 title ending crash at Brands Hatch?
RIP Kenny Irwin and Adam Petty. Same problem, same turn, on the same track: New Hampshire.
3:56 i saw him try to deploy the airbrake (trunk door opening)
Never-ending the Allan Newton was insane that dude had no protection for his neck
I have never had break failure while going fast but I had a break failure with a ford 450 while going down a 19% hill. I was towing an Excavator Kubota kx040. I am just lucky the next exit was going upward. scary shit, cannot imagine going fast
These drivers walking away from high speed crashes that would of likely killed them some 35 odd years ago. My gratitude to the incredibly dedicated safety teams that devised these modern barriers.
Dude had the presence of mind to think of other people's safety while trapped inside a 10000hp land missile...
4:08 the car in the back randomly crashing lol
Amazing how the drivers in the early crashes survived even without the HANS device.
Years ago I got to witness a break failure in person Felipe Massa. I believe the Montreal Grand Prix breaks went off in the hairpin straight into the barrier and the tire came off and went into the crowd
