Dan Wheldon Suffered ‘Non-Survivable’ Head Injury

Sounds like a nice way to say he was essentially decapitated.

....or had part of his head cut off. They had a blanket/covering right next to his vehicle...which tells me there was some body parts there.

Reportedly his family was there with him when he died at the hospital...so he still lingered on a few hrs after the crash

It sounds similar to Gordon Smiley’s practice run crash at Indy in 1982. His skull was opened by the wall and it splattered brains all over the track.

Go to www.speedtv.com and get the complete detailed description ofnwhat happened . He was not decapitated. The side of his helmet made contact with the pole whichbisnwhat caused the brunt force trama at about 175mph. He had no other injuries. Heb was alive when the safety crews got to him but they knew it appeared to be a non survivable injury. Please don't makenstatements about what you think happened in a situation with outnknowing all the facts. I ve driven open wheel carsbfor several yearsnand this all had an impact on us
