Exactley, and that happens in any form of open wheel racing,same exact type of crash that took Rich Vogler in a midget.Any part of a drivers body makes contact with a chain link fence and its gonna tear something off. Wouldn't have mattered if he was going 225 mph or 125 mph ,you jump a wheel and your going airborne.

and prior to that, Jerry Blundy in a USAC sprint at the old Lincoln Speedway, now Eagle.....Then years later, my pal, Larry Lape losing a leg at Huron, Billy Rook on the back chute fence at Husets, and a lot more who's names I can no longer remember...
