This should be another wake up call for you TT guys, this guy was in TTU, imagine if he didn't have cage/hans/suit/ etc etc. Failures like This can and likely WILL happen to you at some point!

Moral of the story: If you see your car start to tear itself apart, it might be time to slow down.

He is very lucky to be alive! All of his safety equipment seemed to hold up and do its job. Also glad to see he let go of the steering wheel and kept his hands close!

Not always true, sometimes even fire suppression cannot stop the fire especially if IF the driver is knock off.
