indeed........

Wow, that is one horrific crash... Unfortinatly the guy probly brought it upon himself (Or herself... perhaps

) I hate to lay down stereotypes but around here, the only people I see in vipers are middle aged men who have no idea how to drive

Why can't they just drive 'lacks and leave their vipers to me

Me thinks he was paraphrasing Dogma "She has the technology, she can make you better"

Actually, it was from "The Six Million Dollar Man", but I guess most of you were not born in that era, so I guess DOGMA will work. Good catch Gonthrax.

That dude is lucky to be alive! It took a while to go through all the pics but hells bells that viper is totalled.

yes it is an RT/10 or was.

I was soooooo surprised to see the driver and the passenger get out of there alive. The roll bar definitely saved their lives. I don't think they had the targa top on either--that extra 2-3 inches above their heads probably would have crushed their skulls. I'm just so surprised that sliding upside down didn't just shear their skulls off. It is so amazing.

I wonder how fast they were going when they lost control.

Poor Viper

crazy_canuck · 03-29-2002, 08:56 PM

Before you guys go and stereotype this guy, why don't you find out the real story behind the accident? From what I understand this guy was avoiding a collision with another car when he lost control of the Snake (in other words it was not his fault).

Point 2, did you realize that Vipers are approved to run in the 165 mph class without a roll bar at open road races like the Silver State Challenge and the Pony Express? It's because they are over-designed and safe.

I do agree that he was very fortunate that he did not pay more dearly for this accident. You wonder why many stereotype people that drive certain cars, well here is a perfect example. You live and die by the sword that you use.

No flames please, I am just trying to clarify what you are seeing in these pictures.
