Hey reddit! So i guess you have all seen the video of a F1 driver surviving in fire for that long. And that crash was hard to watch, but everybody in the comments were talking about some halo that saved that drivers life. What is that and how does it work?
In: Engineering
It’s a 20 pound titanium ring that has a support sloping up in the front and runs over the driver’s head
It’s supposed to protect against stuff coming up the front by pushing it over the top and protects against straight down stuff like when a car flips or has another car land on top of it
The drivers basically sit in a strong pod while the rest of the car will disintegrate around them to protect them
