Critical Safety Equipment Racetrack Safety
|
Racetrack managers and owners owe it to the racer to provide a relatively safe environment. A good fire truck and a professional medical crew with ambulance are just two critical items that are needed. As for the design of the track, any ends of concrete walls or metal guardrails should be protected with large heavy-equipment tires. These can dissipate lots of energy to help prevent injury to the drivers. The driver in the crash shown here survived and walked away with no injuries. He was also wearing a head-and-neck restraint system.RANDY ELLEN View Related Article
