Free beer to anyone who can spot the driver's head flopping around:

Due to a limitation on the number of images that can be posted, I'll point you to the full photo sequence.
 
Nice!

My wife had John Melvin as her instructor at a PCA DE a week ago... was rather amusing - he noted the ISAAC stickers on my car, but out of politeness for a guy who was volunteering his time to help my wife's driving technique I passed on pushing him on the ISAAC subject. He was happy to see the RH side net in the car... and I was surprised that he didn't take issue at all with my Kirkey (econo) seat - which I had him sitting in.

It was amusing...

John is a great guy, and a complete gentleman. He probably wasn't too enthusiastic about the Kirkey, but the net left the right impression. He was a PCA DE instructor for a friend of mine about ten years ago. Does he still drive that blown 911? I keep meaning to ask.

John is very knowledgeable about his research and a complete gentleman. I always enjoy talking with him. I'm sure you scored mucho safety points.

Nice illustration, Gregg. Can you share which model the driver was using?

The original, ISAAC intermediate.
 
Did anyone notice how much Kubica's head moved during his shut in canada? I was almost sure his hans slipped under the belts & he was toast.

KJ
 
I was watching Kubica's roll and thinking, Wow, not gonna get much help from the HANS there! Of course, it did allow him to even survive the initial impact, no doubt! I thought they had better side bracing (in the cockpit)?

Yeah, John still has the brown 911 he's had since virtually day one, apparently... my wife went out w/ him for a spin in it...
 
Impressive.

Kubicas crash was sobering. I think, but could be wrong, that the FIA has mandated a certain energy absorbing material to handle the lateral component of a F1 crash, but it appears in this instance that the pieces were lost during the event, allowing more head movement than i think was hoped for.
