I bet he also had a HANS device as well. If he didn't it's a miracle he didn't have any neck injuries. Thank God for the safey advancements in the race industry. My bet is the bulldozers will be leveling off that bump in the offroad section the next day. You can pretty much see what was going to happen in the slow motion frames. You can see how big of a bump it really was.
