    What a terrible way to go! After the piece hits him, be sure to check how high it flies back up into the air.

    Freak accident.

    Open cockpit racing so fukkin dangerous.

    Sounds like this may motivate the FIA to more quickly introduce closed cockpits in many racing series.

    May not be as big of an issue in Formula one because the speeds are much lower than in oval racing.

    The speeds are nuts.

    Deaths in Indy always seem to be on the oval courses too.

    Sad because Indy one of the few series in the world that drives a combination of oval and road / street courses. Drivers need both skill sets.

    Reminds me of Henry Surtees when he was killed at Brands Hatch in '09

    You can notice that his foot is still giving it full throttle even after the crash.

    Scary stuff.

    Do Indy car racers not make that much money?

    I figured his wife and kids would be set for life, but there has been a trust fund set up for his kids:


    The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Wilson Children's Fund care of INDYCAR.

    Top guys make 7 figures, others are in the lower 6 figures.
    Plus: lot of guys actually have to bring money from sponsors/family to get a team.
    Market has gone down anyway, in the early 2000s, top guys were making more than they are now.
    When Paul Stoddart brought Justin Wilson in his Minardi team in 2003 (Formula 1), Wilson actually had to pay 5 million for this cockpit f.e.

    The guy he hit was dead on impact. The young lad was carrying a 20 kg fire extinguisher that hit Pryce's helmet and nearly decapitated him - dead on impact as well.
