From today.
" 'Bohannon, who tried to save Earnhardt's life as the driver sat slumped in
the wreckage, said Earnhardt's chin might have hit the steering wheel,
causing the major head injury that killed him on impact. A skull fracture
ran from the front to the back of his brain. . . Mr. Earnhardt more than
likely contacted the steering wheel with his face,' Bohannon said."

If this is true, then due to***poor management of this motor sport,
Earnhardt died needlessly. Mandatory full-faced helmets may have saved his
life. I was ripped apart by NASCAR fans in another thread for criticizing
the way this sport is run, and for criticizing the attitiude of the fans
which permits this poor management to continue. I was criticized for
comparing the superior safety standards of F1 to NASCAR. I was even
criticized for daring to suggest that something so obvious like full-faced
helmets should long ago have been made mandatory. I wonder if there will
suddenly be an outcry among the geniuses who run and follow this sport that
full-faced helmets just might help a bit? It will make me sick if I hear it.
Just like it makes me sick that NASCAR never even looked at the autopsy
reports of Irwin and Petty, or thoroughly investigated their crashes. Maybe
they still need a few more drivers to have their skull separated from their
spine before the HANS device is made mandatory, and they need a few more
head and *** injuries before full-faced helmets make a little sense to
them.

After this bit of news, all I can think to say to my critics is go f**k
yourselves.

You were ripped apart because you have no class.

Did you leave out a part? Perhaps something about a damaged lap belt?
No disrespect to Earnhardt, but that stuff is ultimately the DRIVERS
place to check. Don't pin that on NASCAR. They can't micro-manage
every aspect of the sport. You hope a crew member will spot something
like that, but the driver, like a pilot, is ultimately the one who
pays, and must know that his machine is right.

I'm still not convinced he wouldn't have suffered the bascular skull
fracture had he been restrained tight enough to keep his face from the
steering wheel.

"If this is true", "may have", "just might help a bit?", "Maybe".

Pathetic!

at that speed and with a weak lap belt I doubt whether a full face helmet
could have helped.

More crap.

Your barking up the wrong tree again. Go and do some research on seat
belt and harness technology, and how it differs between F1 and NASCAR.
When your done that...and make sure all your facts are straight, then
we'll carry on. So see you in about 6 years then?

I'm a little confused about the face-to-the-steering-wheel-theory.
Didn't this same doactor say Sunday night that there was no evidence
of *** impact? No cuts or bruises on the face?

Quit acting like an ass. His helmet would have been just fine had the
safety harness held up.

The bottom line is when you go racing you make your choices and you take
your chances. Ironhead knew that from day 1. He's the one who decided to
drive with an open face helmet and no HANS. He was an *** and knew what
he was doing. There is no one to blame for that accident. Mr. Fisher ( I'm
giving you the benefit of the doubt since I don't think you are grown-up ),
it's OK to be sad, but not to be mad. People race and people die.

Go F### yourself too.
F1 pansy.
You don't even care about Nascar, get the h$$$ out of Nascar conversations.

Acccident happen dumb^^^, every day.

I'm sure the full-faced helmet would have stopped his internal organs from
being smashed (8 broken ribs, collapsed lung). Hell, if he had a stroke before
he hit the wall, you would have blamed *** or the lack of check-ups before
races. No matter what, you'll always claimn to be right.

Go f*ck yourself as well.

Gee, it's fairly convieniant, that you've left out the part about the lap belt
not working correctly. And that part, "Mr. I have all the answers", is
something that could happen in ANY form of motor racing.

No, that's quite alright. We're all having fun watching you, f**k yourself
into a corner.
