Jeremy Foley and his co-driver go off at Pikes Peak's Devils Playground - at exactly the same spot another car fell off the cliff last year. Both were taken to the hospital and fortunately released without life-threatening injuries.
The drivers survived this horrific crash due to vastly improved car safety these days: rollcages that can withstand impact multiple times the weight of the car, seats/helmets/harnesses/neck and arm restraints that work together to keep the drivers safe, fuel systems that disconnect automatically, on-board fire suppression systems that trigger without driver intervention, and much more.
