I agree, looked totally survivable. But he could have suffered a brain bleed or main line rupture. This can happen especially with an undetected abnormality...

curious about his injuries..

Watch dale earn harts death then. It looks like barely anything happens but you have to remember that he hit the wall going 200mph. This guy probably got his neck snapped.

That stop will unwrap every organ in the body.

Yup, he was over big time

In high-speed traffic incidents (or where a lot of force is involved) aortic dissections occur. Some part of the aorta goes into the retroperitoneal space and back into the peritoneum. That weakness means that when lots of force gets exerted, the aorta just snaps at that weak spot. This is why most people die in high speed crashes.

Well, the announcer was correct about him being "Over for him, Big Time!"

The tumble after that is pretty common to see in the sprint cars, generally a little woozy or a few broken bones, but never seems to be fatal.

Did you even see Earnhardt’s crash???

I'd venture to guess that his insides were pretty well shaken up... easy to rip and tear organs in there when you're moving that fast... and then suddenly stop. Think about the forces still being exerted on the body. Like violently shaking a raw egg...

If you were alive when it happened you couldn't avoid the video, what's your point?
