"Henry Surtees, 18 year old son of 1964 Formula One champion John Surtees, died Sunday after being hit in the head by a bouncing wheel and tire during an F2 race. Even after watching the video, it seems too outrageous to believe". He walked away from the crash.

Always am curious about those wrong place at the wrong time. this guy was a micro second from being totally unhurt. Like the Titanic. If it was maybe 20 feet more port out of the entire Atlantic ocean, it probably would have missed the berg.

Lost a friend/colleague in a helo mishap for similar, a few years ago...he'd swapped seats just before the crash...if he hadn't moved, the blade that bounced off the rocks and came through the cabin in that spot wouldn't have killed him.

...of course, it would have gotten someone else.
