I'm hearing that nobody was hurt! This pretty much makes everyone behind that barrier joint luckest people in the world?

Amazing the safety technology that goes into those cars.  To be thrashed that badly, and yet the cockpit is still completely intact.

if its anything like F! the car is made to disentigrate (sp). the frame and cosmetics and other parts take the heat in safety of the driver. the drivers more then likely have a HANNS device (NASCAR does...LeMans better).

Being a closed cockpit, and more mass to the car, I'd imagine it's a bit safer then F1. 

But yea, speaking of F1, remember Webber's pretty little back flip at Valencia last year, I'm amazed he walked away from that one too.
