BMW M2 Competition accident in Germany claiming the driver's life. Keep it safe !
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Went oversteer and crashed into a tree (this morning near Munich around 8am). Very sorry to hear the driver (55) did not survive the accident. May he rest in peace. Keep it safe ! EDIT: update by forum fellows MarcelM1 and fertech Quote:

How sad, it breaks my heart. 8 am would have been cold and damp...That was really bad luck that the hit was right in the driver's door, anywhere else and it would have probably been non-lethal.

Just horrible. Very humbling and just shows how fragile we actually are.

Several airbags deployed. The steering wheel airbag didn't. All depends on parameters serving one common goal: offering the best protection for those on board either by deploying or by not-deploying.
For a brief explanation: see for example here ("Reader’s Choice: Why Didn’t the Airbags Deploy?"). The human body has limits in sustaining high G-forces. See for example here ("Force on Driver in Example Car Crash").

The accident investigator said that if the front had collided instead of the side, she would of most likely survive.. Cars a made nowadays to absorb front end impact more so than the side.. Even the engine has breakaway mounts for this sole purpose.. RIP. |

Probably one of the worse ways to hit a tree. Hard to survive a crash like this at the drivers door. May he Rest In Peace.
This sort of reminds me of the guy in Europe driving his M2 super fast after a car show and then later crashed in an OG M2 coupe years ago. Right before he crashed some of it was caught on video. What ever happened to him? Did he make a full recovery? Anyone know? Last edited by chmura; 10-15-2018 at 05:45 PM.. |

Sometimes we forget how precious and fragile life can be and how fast it can change at the snap of a finger. Someone's family member will not be returning home tonight sad so sad.
