This is why you wear your seat belts, kids.
According to USA Today, the Fuchs Winternationals at Willowbank Raceway in Brisbane got really fuching scary this weekend when a drag racer’s car went airborne and split in two.
Phil Lamattina was readying himself behind the wheel of a brand new 10,000-horsepower car Saturday afternoon when a chassis failure rocketed him into the wall alongside the track.
Surprisingly, Lamattina still had a pulse when his vehicle came to a halt. In fact, he was conscious after the horrific ordeal and was treated by on-track officials before leaving for a nearby hospital. Doctors there discovered Lamattina had shattered one of his vertebrae, but he is expected to make a full recovery.
