ABC Wide World of Sports....copter hovering over Lorenzo Bandini burning to death in a manganese frame F1 car at Monaco. Right out of the tunnel at the then chicane. Downwash fanned the flames. Close ups of him struggling with the harness.

That was about it for me and ABC/F1...and shoulder belts for that matter. The Luke Skywalker automatic belts in our ‘91 Saturn are a death trap.

I always carry a Victorinox Fireman knife with a blade designed to cut through seat belts.

Why isn’t there a seatbelt cutter attached to the belts? I have always thought that would be standard with racing.
