In all reality, we must realize that these men were not driving a NASCAR automobile, or even a safety-based production car (Volvo, etc.). When you hit a wall going above 100mph in a convertible sports car, you will die. Seatbelt or no seatbelt, helmet or no helmet, it's unsurvivable. The options are 1) The car doesn't crush and your internal organs are battered beyond belief or 2) The car does crush, but there isn't enough car to safely wrap around you.

I've always said that I want to die in a fashion so stellar that they post pictures on the internet of it. As sad as it is for these men's families, there's no doubt that this is the way I'd want to go. There is simply no better way to die than while doing something you love.
