Have a question and challenge for all the ME's or wanna be ME's here. Real situation from Pacific Raceway in Seattle a while back.
Open wheel formula car goes upside down in the one small area that has soft gravel in it. Driver's head gets buried so deep in the gravel that he cannot breath!
Due to the gravel, weight of the car and the ageing of three turn workers there, they cannot role the car back over. Keeps sliding in the gravel. They are just able to keep the car up high enough for the driver to breath until more help arrives. Whew....
Now the question is, can somebody come up with a relatively simple aid for one or three ageing turn workers could use to turn a formula car back over or, hold it up enough so the two workers could assist the driver in getting out?
This could become ever more important as turn workers continue to age.
I could lift the front end of our Reynard FC's up until my quad. bypass. That really took the strength out of me mainly because of the three months in a coma and another 3 in physical recovery. A lot of YOUR turn workers are reaching conditions similar to mine.
So, anybody have ideas? Drawings would be good.
