Hearing I Want You to Want Me -- Cheap Trick
The bad news is that in this crash, the guy broke both his legs. The good news, as you'll see when you watch this video, is that breaking his legs was all that happened to him:
Yow. The full story is here. The kicker is that the fellow, John Force, is a major drag-racer. Which says that even the pros can have their bad days. I think I'll stick to the speed limit.
The real irony: John Force actually won that race. I think he should try to avoid having any other winning races like that.

Update: 6:20 p.m. Sunday: Doctors updated John Force's family and team following a thorough evaluation of his multiple injuries and the prognosis for a full recovery is very good.
Force sustained a broken left ankle and severe abrasion on his right knee. Force's left wrist also was dislocated and broken and he sustained some severe abrasions and slight fractures on a number of fingers on his right hand.
Throughout all procedures Force was alert and responsive. CAT scans performed came back negative and showed no damage other than the injuries to his legs and hands. Surgeons will begin cleaning a number of his injuries tonight and possibly setting his fractures if the swelling is at an acceptable level. -
This one's considerably scarier (but it's got Aussie hotties):

And this guy walked away with only a little burn on one of his fingers after being pitched 20 feet in the air.
