Well the pounds per square inch are incredible when you think about how fast the racecar is going--it may as well have been a brick. Ever try to do something stupid like opening the car door while driving and grabbing something off the street like a traffic cone? It'll just about tear your arm off! Can you say pain? The forces generated by speed of an object are incredible!

 

Cool video BTW; Yuichi posted it at ZDriver a while ago. I think it's from inepthumor.com or something. Thanks for posting it--I'll send it to a few friends.

Yes, I was exaggerating to a point there, Richard. I knew someone that tried to pick up a cone while hanging out the side of a pickup. They were going maybe 50mph (not km/h) and needless to say, he was not able to sufficiently grab the cone--he just had a very sore hand and arm for the next day or so. I was just making my point...but got carried away in exaggeration icon_smile.gif
