Craig Breen

For sure he was extremely unlucky.
I mentioned it previously and I still believe it.

But, since you already found 2 other cases that a wooden pole penetrated the windshield in the last decade (fortunately not fatal).
Maybe it is not so rare in order to ignore it and not to take it into consideration for possible safety measurements.

I am not suggesting a solution, there are so many clever people around motorsport to find something innovative.

This thread turned into an autism competition really fast... from covering every tree and pole with hayballs and protective stuff to using jet materials for car windows... maybe we can put lifeguards on every lake in finland as well so we can avoid drownings... and why not bulletproof armour around the car... kubica would be absolutely fine in an armoured vehicle....

i really would like to hear the opinions of safety autists on the TT... lol



Poor Craig.... its a pity that your demise due to sheer bad luck turned into a "who is the biggest retard" competition among rally fans....

I find this post completely unacceptable especially given the circumstances. You are calling forum members "autists" and "retard". Maybe you should go away again. I've reported this post. Frankly you are disgusting.

He may not have won a WRC event, although he came close with several podiums. But he had victories in ERC and many national events.

well given the things mentioned in here a lot of them qualify for both titles...

there are definately stronger materials available than they use now.

On twitter there were mentions of some type of plastic they use in NASCAR.

For side windows it should be quite simple, front one might be more difficult.

Changing the material of the windows has zero impact on the sport itself, unlike for example HANS had.

Major accident happens... Car is on fire and the doors are blocked.. driver tries to break the space tech window... Fails...

Lets ban motorsport all together... Safest option

According to Croatian media the fence is only there for a short time.

I normally pipe up when you start banding the autism stick.
However, I do agree with your basic comments, just a pity you have to embellish them with your usual nonsense. I was going to mention the TT. People die every year, but all competitors know the consequence.
Even one Irish family has lost many people through road racing but still continue because it is in their blood. I was also going to mention how far a car can travel once it’s left the road so where do you stop when trying to bubble wrap every potential hazard.

And it’s all very well using some form of impenetrable material for windows but then what happens when a crew is trapped inside a burning vehicle and emergency crews can’t get in to save them?
