Those seriously made me dick at my stomach... Nicks lucky he didn't have more injuries his side had a lot more damage... Sad that something as simple as a cage would have prevented some of the injuries.. Maybe someday people will realize no matter if the car will be being raced or not if you have that much HP put a cage in it regardless because you never know when that HP will be used..

A cage helps slow deformation of the car crushing in on you.
A cage might not have prevented injuries... with alot of cars even cages with padding is dangerous because your head could still be striking a solid object that barely has padding on it. The padding was made to help absorb impacts with a helmet on.

Common sense would have prevented it all from happening.. especially his friend not wearing a seatbelt.

True it wouldn't have hurt to have one in a car with that much power though ;)

Again the power of a seat belt is shown.. :)
