NHRA Accident! Crewmember ran over by Top Fuel Dragster 

💀💀💀💀🤣

They're stealth af.

He is probably deaf

Yeah. They like a b2-

They are quite loud actually!

Not

True. This is about worthless.

bottom right 0:57

Alexzander Smith ah. ok

I could tell before watching by how tight the like/dislike ratio is that there wasn't gonna be much here to see!

What shows me how much power these have is the feeling you have through your chest when they launch. Intense

@@MusicalEssence Yeah, nothing can prepare first timers for sensory assault. If there are first timers around me or in my group, I don't even watch the race, I watch the newbie's faces.

Yep lots of horses in those

Q

Freno bee

Bu

1000-1300hp per cylinder

Carmen Bernardo you can survive that, but you'll be in the hospital for a while. sometimes you can survive that and walk away from it, but that happens 1 out of 100000000% of the time

Two were actually hit one of them were just spun around and out of the way... the dude that went flying ... from another angle you see he gets his leg hit and it ripped his pant leg up real bad but you dont see any blood or anything i would imagine his leg was broken and several burns.

Got sucked up and rotated by the driver side rear tire, the traction and low air pressure in the tire held him like a glove until it released him airborne in front of the tire slamming him into the pavement. At least this is what it look like to me

@@christaniforgotmylastname780 A marshal was killed in a similar way in a CART race in Vancouver in 1990 when the rear tire of a passing car threw him into the ground causing him to slam his head on the pavement

He wasn't slammed that's called down force.

+skagit69er Yer agreed LOL , if you' ve ever seen a Fuel engine backfire/ detonate on the start line you' know to treat these engines like they're a hand grenade . Seen the blower launch off 50 feet in the air knocking crew members unconscious on the way through , seen shooters including pistons and conrods into the crowd , clutch explosions , crankshafts drilling into the ground half the way to China ! Yep standing / milling around these engines is a real great idea .... Saw a funnycar drop off its stands in the pits once injured a dozen spectators and damaged another teams car in the opposite pit.

Yeah, and maybe some toddlers and elderly people crawling around with their canes too, just to make it that much safer. Looks like OSHA should take a look at drag racing.

This is the definition of r/whoosh

lol

Lol all you professionals who know all there is to know about getting 10,000 hp down a track. Guys are there for a reason accidents happen but a lot more would if not for them.

Grass_Concept Charloette, NC.

Grass_Concept: the strip is in Charlotte North Carolina

I've been to North Carolina and I've never seen or heard of a 4 way drag strip there

Welcome to the big league

Same

Thanks

Yours is the best reply.

thanks captain obvious

Exactly, why people need to pay more attention or your playing with danger.

Wait what! He wasent trying a burn out?! I mean your right I do believe, because the rest of the crew was a bit shocked also you could tell😆 I think another guy was standing up too. But thats shot af! Dk how that could happen with all the training..

The butterfly? LOL....👌

@@stickboyfpv4742 he wasn't in the staging area yet. Hadn't even rolled the back tires through the water onto the actual strip yet. Sadly accidents become more common when you do the same routine so often. Probably just moving too fast

@@rodrunion8899 the parts that open on the blower. theres a pin that holds them closed for the burn out

Literally no human would do anything different in that situation, not named Biden.

@@JetFire9 👎🏻

@@alanross3435 💩

Actually, it happened during engine start .... here is a better view ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9zQcuzf-I_E.html

The man who was ran over was the starter operator. A flood if nitro during the startup procedure ignited causing the engine to rev unexpectedly. Nitromethane is a beast of a fuel and very explosive.

M thats a good explanation thank you

@@dgretlein you are the real MVP

what first came to my mind...

Lol like 8k of them

I think it was a hit & run insurance scam. :)

Rub some dirt on it boy & get yo' ass back in there...NOW! 🤣💨

This should be top comment.

Jeff H Age don't mean thing bro! Never too old for drag racing man.

Jeff H 😂😂😂😂😂, doesn't matter, that fella red lighted

185lbs man top fuel dragster 0-like70 in a second. If my maths correct.. He got to the hospital in about 7 minutes.

ah yes the dark humor XD this needs more likes

Wild Child, you are a cool dude, love your comment.

They’re in north/south Carolina and Colorado i believe

@@jakerose4313 Gatornationals used to have the fastest track anywhere. After they shortened the true 1/4 mile, I quit watching. Was so much fun as a kid, now the sport is ruined.

Thanks for that link. There should be a safety regime keeping the brakes on while squirting fuel in, which there probably is but failed this time. Also maybe not stand in front of the wheel. But he was definitely too fat to be working out there anyway. Bad shape definitely makes him get hurt easier. Looked like he'll be okay though.

i was about to fucking say, all those people there and the best angle they choose is one that dosn't even show what happened? Thank you mate.

wow thanks

Rick Moore thank you, i was bummed when I thought it was the drivers fault

I dont think you are really supposed to do that even when the engine is on.

True but it takes longer than you might think. Nitro methane & methyl alcohol burn much cooler than gasoline! That's why the engines use so much fuel on a run, you can force much more fuel into the engine to develope more power!

Thanks for the sub!

@@BenjaminPlaysRust Your welcome! Have a great day!

Killed it 😂, he just lost his traction

That little bit of fuel isn't enough to raise 100 rpm in that engine. These things have 42 mechanical injectors just to give it enough fuel during the 3 seconds at full throttle. That squirt of fuel did nothing if that's even what it was.

A squirt of fuel like that into any car isn't gonna do much.

@@ryanwinkelman1781 You're right. I'm not sure what the comment was from earlier, but what seems to be going on is they couldn't get the car fired, so they were scrambling. Normally, before starting the car, the guy with the gas bottle will open the blades and squirt fuel in, let the blades close, and then later will slowly leak some fuel into the injector when the guy working the starter hits the switch. I'm guessing because of the scramble the gas bottle guy was opening the blades to squirt fuel in while the guy with the starter was starting the engine. That means the engine started with the throttle open, and revved up while he (or another crewmember) was in a bad spot.

nope there are others floating about

Denim it. Denim it, Tire Hell! No.

The guy had a broken leg but was otherwise ok! I'll add this to the video. Thanks!

Charlotte, North Carolina in the United States.

That is what I was thinking? Usually they roll though the box and then do the burn out. Crazy.

Burn out was done too early.

@@chitownmedia101 Your powers of observation are unsurpassed 👍

They didn't

His shoelace got caught in the exhaust belt.

​@@Yyyyyy5 lol

they dont have gears, or a transmission, centrifugle clutch...

The guy wasn't killed; I doubt he was even seriously injured -- maybe a concussion if he smacked his head. I've seen worse hits on the football field. I've never seen a 4-lane dragstrip, though.

there is another video from another angle that someone posted. the link is further above. between this video and that one, one can kind of figure it out.
