    Wow, on 2 counts: 1) 100 Gs and 2) bruised heart!

    Survived a 100 G crash without actually breaking anything yet ended up with a bruised heart! That's a new one in my book.

    Okay, I just looked at this video and it doesn't look like a 100 G crash to me. I'm sure they have sensors, though.

    Can you imagine what he'd have gone through had there not been a safer barrier there? Yikes looked like a hard hit to me. Hope Jack recovers fully & quickly.
