world's best example of a proper roll cage!!!!

It's easy to forget just how dangerous the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb can be. Those who take to the mountain do so with the knowledge that any wrong turn could send them, their car and their co-driver down a rocky embankment at speed.

Jeremy Foley recently found that out first hand at around Mile 16 when his Mitsubishi Evolution 8 stepped off course. The car proceeded to somersault end over end down the side of the mountain, sheering off body panels and spitting parts along the way. From the look of things in the video below, the machine rolled at least seven times before coming to a stop right side up.

Both Foley and his co-driver were air-lifted to a local hospital, but have since been released. This was his first time at Pikes Peak. If ever there were an advertisement for building a proper cage, this is it.

*Update: According to a post on Evolutionm.net, neither Foley nor his co-driver, Yuri, broke any bones in the dust up. Foley exited the crashed vehicle under his own power and Yuri injured his shoulder in what may be a dislocation.

this is the vi in slow motion

no big explosion like the movies?

Nope, driver and co-driver were extremely lucky in that circumstance...imagine if the car did catch fire, with both occupants possibly unconscious from the fall....no marshal would have been able to get there immediately....except helicopter perhaps?

the distance from where the car left the road to the first impact point... is very far. that car was flying

hope they install some sort of barriers on that corner.

I'm sure common folk have had the misfortune of running off the road there as well.

up until recently, that road was largely unpaved......it's not exactly a thoroughfare
