Het is niet voor niets dat we keurmeesters ( Gouden vrijwilligers) hebben bij het stockcar racen. Om dit soort ongelukken te voorkomen. Gelukkig is deze coureur er nog redelijk voor weg gekomen. Ook al ben je het niet altijd eens met de keurmeester hij doet het vrijwillig voor jou eigen veiligheid, vergeet dat niet komend race seizoen.
This is why we talk about seat belts so much.
16yo Ashton Torgerson was ejected during a rollover at the Chilli Bowl. The last update posted by his team is that he stood up and walked around the hospital. He is doing remarkably well.
I (Todd) have made a video on why this photo is still up. If it's shocking nature has you screaming in anger, consider directing some of that towards donating to the GoFundMe posted by their team which is linked at the end of this post. If every outraged comment donated $5 Ashton will be able to cover all expenses from this and more.
Properly mounting your belts and using them properly can literally be the difference between life and death. Please take the mounting of your belts with the seriousness that it deserves.
I (Todd) have not been able to find a credible sourse on what caused this to happen. I have seen multiple people post that his arm restraints allowed enough movement that he unlocked his belts during the crash. If an offical reason for why this happens comes out I will update this post.
