Back in 2009, Formula One driver, Felipe Massa, was racing in Hungary when a spring from his competitor’s vehicle collided with his helmet as he was travelling at 175mph. He sustained serious injuries, however, he remained in a stable condition & made a phenomenal recovery. Without the incredibly advanced helmet he was wearing at the time, which absorbed most of the impact, Massa’s incident would have proved fatal.
