Safety in Motor RacingThesis: Motor racing is becoming a safer sport with all the new innovations introduced in the last couple of years, including the trapped fence, safety barrier and safety barrier. Han.When someone goes on a track what they really want to see are the wrecks. They want to see a car roll over or even catch fire. While it might look great from the outside of the car, inside the car it is extremely dangerous. The auto racing community is working together to create new innovations to make racing as safe as possible. Motor racing is becoming a safer sport thanks to all the innovations introduced in the last couple of years, including the trapped fence, the safety barrier and the Han device. Everyone who watched car racing cannot deny that all the cars were becoming faster and faster. For every ten miles per hour the car travels, the driver's risk of injury increases by 10%. There are many reasons why cars have gained speed. The three biggest pieces of equipment that make the car fast are pads, a better tire compound from the Goodyear tire company, and finally direct fuel injection into the combustion chamber. As stated in the last paragraph, when the speed of the car increases, it affects safety. of the driver in reverse. One of the new innovations that many auto racing series operate is the crash barrier. The safety fence has become more important and has taken care of a terrible crash at Daytona International Speedway on February 22, 2013. The front end of a driver's car came off when the car hit the fence and sent parts and pieces of the car on the stands. (Greenberg). After officials saw the wreck and the horrific aftermath, they designed a fence that would keep the c...... in the center of the card ......k and be restrained by the seat belt across his shoulders. It is then attached to the helmet. Han's device makes racing safer in many ways. The first way is to prevent the driver's neck from breaking, it does this by only letting them travel up to a certain point in an accident. It also prevents the driver from hitting his head on the steering wheel. This is good because it prevents the driver's head from traveling as far and helps avoid brain injuries. To conclude, new safety innovations are still in use and are saving drivers' lives day after day. Before these innovations came into effect, many drivers died every month. We now have fewer drivers dying because of these innovations. Although these safety items are not mentioned frequently, they are always used on the track. If it weren't for the years of progress in auto racing safety, perhaps there would be no more drivers racing.
