It's based on careful analysis of the .rpy file, using a special data
translator that I wrote myself. It calculates the magnitude and duration of
decelerations, localized to several key points on the body. These are then
fed into a non-linear finite element model of the head and torso, which it
then ported over to an SGI workstation, where finally a poroelastic
formulation is used to partition the applied impact forces into fluid
pressures and tissue strains within the brain and major internal organs.
These are then compared to a vast database of injury data culled from 25
years of medical literature.
No, actually we all just look at the replay and form a subjective opinion of
how bad the accident was. :-)

Im taking some qualifying laps at Monza trying to set a personal best when I
overshoot the Parabolica and into the sand..
Backing out I neglected to check the mirror...BAM, Im hit dead on by a car
entering the turn...possibly too fast himself. Next thing I know the screen
goes to static and I have to ESC out of it...them Im all nice and warm
feeling back in my car at the pits.
SO - this leads me to wonder...when you die, instead of seeing a bright
white light maybe you see static?
Or was this just me blacking out? Because later in the same race an AI
driver decided to cut over a hair early locking up our wheels and sending me
on my head all the way down and through the tunnel...and again, I saw the
static for a second but then it was back to a nice view of sparking
pavement.

On the plus side you don't have to go to work either! Can't wait.

but while we're on the subject, I judge it by the "shudder factor" if
watching the replay actually produces a wince, it probably wouldn't
have gone well - first one was at Watkins Glen, coming out of the last
left hander in the esses, I have a bad habit of over cooking it there
and going wide, pushing about 130 I clipped the end of the guardrail
on the right just before the rear wheel, dropped 100mph instantly,
launched into the air, the engine went silent at the instant of impact
and caught fire in the air, car rolled upside down just in time to
slap the ground and skitter into the guardrail, just kinda sitting
there silent and lifeless - it all happened in an instant - watching
it in chase view it was kinda gruesome

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

However, woe betide the driver who races like John Surtees!
We've already seen that the GPL graphics engine can handle flames
decently...
