Yeah, I remember the footage was wicked looking... It looked so bad I thought he died... It's pretty insane... 40G's for a few seconds is unbelievable... Those are the forces that F-1 drivers suffer when they hit a wall doing 150mph!!! But they only experience that force for maybe a tenth of a second...
