Marq marquez crash data....yikes!

WOW! [smilie=eek.gif] Read this and its pretty scary.

QUOTE:Alpinestars released data about Marquez's high-speed practice crash that alternatingly fascinates and frightens. The information was gleaned from the sensors in the air bag in Marquez's racing suit, which deployed in the crash .

Marquez was traveling 209.9 mph when he lost control of his RC213V. His first impact with the ground came just .080 of a second after the crash was detected. And the sensor registered a maximum impact of 25g's on Marquez's body when he hit the ground.

For another horrific thrill ride check out this video of a very high speed getoff at Daytona a couple years ago. These guys were on the other side of 160 mph when they hit the pavement.
