news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8169365.stmThe wierdest way to get unconcious must be by a 1 kg spring. Brazilian driver Rubens Barrichello was driving at 140 mph when he had a problem with his rear suspension. The spring that holds the center of the gearbox together came off the back and onto the racing line. 3 seconds later fellow countryman Felipe Massa got hit on his helmet by the spring and knocked unconcious. He had a cut over his left eye. A week ago Henry Surtees, 19, died in Brands Hatch in a similar incident. He got hit by a wheel. For two freak accidents to happen in the same week is unreal. It shows the dangers of open cockpit racing. He walked away but collapsed shortly after www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6o8KUwUQJM
