Two views of Hans Herman's crash in the 1959 German GP. Incredibly, he was uninjured and signed the picture below. Video here.

  1. remember back before seat belt laws and most people didn't bother wearing them and some would say they rather be "thrown clear"? thems were the good ol days.

  2. I wondered about the occupant of the trackside chair until I glimpsed his rapid departure in the linked video. Good placement of the fire suppression equipment. The car almost self-administered the extinguisher.

  3. I've seen a few pictures of "driver in the air beside his tumbling car", Hans was lucky- he seemed to live an eventful life...
