I saw these pictures when I was about 5-6 years old in I think one of my dads old issues of "Argosy" that focused on racing deaths (I could be wrong but it was either Argosy or a mag just like it) and they gave me nightmares for months, maybe even years.

I still shiver when I see them

RIP Skimp Hersey

Today is amazing classics day, for some reason the old photos are so much more disturbing to me. maybe its the black and white? Maybe its the "good old days" vibe of simpler times that gets shattered when you look at these photos

One thing is for sure, in the 1930s 40s and 50s there were some skilled photographers that got impossible shots of racing crashes

Time for some amazing non fatal crash photos

These ones are amazing

Takashi Yokoyama 1997 Fuji Grand Prix

Horrifying, Nightmarish, Brutal, Distressing, and Jaw Dropping do not even begin to describe this fatal crash

Helmuth Koinigg

He died at the American Grand Prix at Watkins Glen New York

He hit the guardrail after his supension broke, the bottom rung of the guardrail buckled and snapped and his car went underneath it

Unfortunately his head did not go under guardrail and he was decapitated

Horrible Horrible Horrible

RIP

I know that Gordo has already been covered, however I did some stop frame studies years ago and have found some of the frames showing the impact

Of course they are not high quality, but at the same time its easy to see whats happening in each frame

Amazing thread my friend, keep going

[AlvinKarpis]

Found another older study I did trying to help others find/see Gordy in the photos and films

I will post the original image below

I NEVER WANT TO BECOME A RACE CAR DRIVER, I WILL STICK TO VIDEO GAMES... This can happen so fast, you might make a mistake and next thing you know, your dead or splattered all over the track.
