Wow, a 90 year old engineer and Dan Rather say it's unsafe. Shattering might be a good thing as it absorbs the impact energy. Ever seen an indy car hit a wall at 200mph? The thing looks like it's exploding and nearly every time the driver walks away.
What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Oh yeah, before you knock the hick sports, the HANS device was developed by a the owner of the Bigfoot monster truck. Probably the most significant safety development in autoracing since the helmet.
I was wondering if somebody would get the last line of my first post in this thread

Those things have a bunch of composite in them now as well. Many drivers are using custom molded seats made from carbon fiber.

That line was pretty good too, I can't believe you remember that from 20 years ago.

The guy that's the supposed "Whistle Blower" isn't even being recognized by OSHA as one, because they have to Certify the aircraft regardless. Another note is the guy was fired for racism at the job, and some other infractions.

The only thing that would make things more credible...for me...would be if Mary Mapes were involved. Yep...Dan, Mary, and an old guy - because of them I am no longer looking forward to watching the 787 DeathShips first flight.
What a bunch of loons.
