amazing. i work at a level 1 trauma center in NY and we see a ton of motor vehicle crashes (not called accidents anymore, btw). a rapid decel like that can cause major internal injuries like a ruptured aorta which can kill you almost instantly. not to mention head injuries, as your brain bounces back and forth off the inside of your skull, tearing arteries and veins as it moves.
to come away from that crash with a sprained ankle is a testament to the safety features built into these cars. even ten years ago, this would have been another motorsports tragedy, ala Dale Earnhardt.
