Really upsetting video. Upset me loads. Glad this sort of thing doesnt happen in F1 now!

By the way, if you have IE6 and no protection this site is likely to piss you off and try to install ad-ware. You have been warned :D

David Purley stops his car and run to help Williamson!



Four years later, Purley survived an estimated 179.8 G's when he decelerated from 108 mph to 0 in a distance of 26 inches!
[British Grand Prix, pre-qualifying session]

For many years, this was thought to be the highest G-force ever survived by a human being.
