The Terrifying Moment A Drag Racer’s Parachute Failed To Open
Gary Densham was competing at the 2016 Circle K NHRA Winternationals in Pomona when the parachute of his racer failed to open and he careered into the safety net
Densham was checked and released by NHRA emergency services officials without injury, after his car ran through the sand trap at speed and into the safety net.

Another proof that drag racers have massive balls
They also have massive tyres….
Hope he was wearing his brown pants.
That’s so deadpool😂
Gary : I shouldn’t have eat that chimichanga…
Did he say 307 mph?
300+mph in 4 seconds or less.
First time I hear someone so calm, when they see a car flying at 200+ mph into a net
I love how the commentator sounds all like “Oh. How unfortunate.”
Something similar happen in Puerto Rico, the guy driving was going to be the first Puerto Rican to race in Nascar, but he was not as lucky, both brakes and parachute failed, dying on impact.
please what is the name?
isnt Victor gonzalez jr the first puerto rican to do this?
Waiting for the gif set with captions like “here comes the turn “ “ah sh*t missed my turn”
Guess they dragged both cars out of the strip, huh…
Tries to launch parachute
