    For me the most remarkable part of the crash is the folks walking away. No seat belts...no helmets and walking away.

    I am glad I was not in that VW convertible. I also hope the owner did not have a white interior!

    Unless 1970 is the number of crashes in the video, then the year is wrong. There is a yellow Targa with a ducktail.

    This shows why roll bars were invented, although those would not help those motorbike guys.

    Seriously, I think the D.O.T. should come up with a new slogan; Seat belts don't save lives, bellbottoms save lives.

    Here, you have Sascha Maassen coaching the Nordschleife for the upcoming GT3 Cup. You can see that he takes Adenauer Forst at about 2:00 with a blind double-apex.

    Now we know why an early apex is really, really bad.
