I wonder what caused that explosion or pressure release. Looked like instant kill, just like what happens when somebody gets shot in the head.

Well, that's a great example of death coming for you with no warning. You're in a supposedly safe environment where everything's controlled, yet you die because of that one little chance of something going wrong, definitely going wrong.

Think about that man's entire life. His childhood, all of his experiences growing up, how he changed, maybe he had some flaws he fixed to improve himself as a person, studied hard to learn something to be able to hold a job, and then everything ends just like that. POP! You're gone, your existence, your past, your future, it all ends there. You're nothing but somebody's memory and you never even saw this moment coming.

If it really was the clutch, that'd be simple mechanical failure and centrifugal force. It looks like they're running it on a dyno; the engine (and clutch etc.) would be running extremely fast.

One of the first videos I've seen where someone is taking action and trying to help him survive.

Yeah, because it wasn't in china or some other fucked up country.

Great. Now I can't stand beside cars. :(

It's true. What's left we can do without possibly dying? Maybe sit in a barren room and do nothing maybe?

Even then old age will get to you.

Unless the ceiling falls in on you first, inflicting slow crush damage

Where did that hit because it almost looked like it went through his neck. I swear I'm seeing the back of it protruding for like a frame or two then he falls. Am I wrong?
