Here’s a video of then BMW driver Robert Kubica‘s horror crash at the 2007 Canadian GP.
The speed measured when his car clipped the barrier was 300.13 km/h (186.49 mph), at a 75-degree angle, subjecting Kubica to an average deceleration of 28 g. After data from the onboard accident data recorder had been analysed it was found that he had been subjected to a peak G-force of 75 G.
The fact that Kubica escaped with only minor concussion and a sprained ankle shows how safe F1 cars are these days.
