“The last IndyCar driver to die because of an on-track incident was Indianapolis 500 champion Dan Wheldon, who was killed in the 2011 season finale at Las Vegas after his head hit a post when his car went airborne.

The LESSON from this is that it is safer doing 200mph on the race track than it is doing 35mph down your street.
