Senna's death

The FIA said he died from a basal fracture. --Gp75motorsports ^{REV LIMITER} 17:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know. Maybe I was looking at the wrong study. BTW The Death of Ayrton Senna has been deleted. --Gp75motorsports ^{REV LIMITER} 11:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Y'know, it could've been either. The FW16 that he was driving didn't seem to have much in the way of head protection. My theory is, seeing as he had gotten a tire over a curb onto the dirt and proceeded to bring the tire back over the curb before it had reached the end of the curb, ce could've worked something loose over the period between then and the time he hit the wall. Seeing as the car turned right, and seeing as it bottomed out, it could've been the tie rod linking the wheel to the steering rack. If you watch the accident closely, you can see that not only is the tire leaning the slightest bit in towards the car (negative camber), the wheel is also not quite as responsive as the front left. Also there is a small piece of suspension hanging from the car before impact. Thus, when he hit the wall, the front right was at just the right angle to aim the upper control arm at his head and cause a basal fracture. Yeah, makes sense. Anywho it kind of makes me debate for a second whether I should go racing. --Gp75motorsports ^{REV LIMITER} 21:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
