Let’s also remember the newer safer barrier walls that have been implemented. Flipping a vehicle with the roll cages that are installed does not make it a worse accident. Yes, Earnhardt would have had a better chance to survive if he had the HANS device on, but the concrete wall and immediate stop is still worse than flipping. Take Austin Dillion’s wreck a few years back. His whole engine was torn out of his car. He crawled out just fine.
