Zandvoort 2012 DTM accident pit lane

Zandvoort 2012 DTM accident pit lane - YouTube

"The famous German racing driver Ralph Schumacher has recently injured 4 mechanics at the Zandvoort 2012 DTM on the pit lane.

Motorsport accidents happen almost by the day and cameras capture them on the track but sometimes a simple mistake may cost you your life, as four mechanics found out the hard way. In the video posted below we can see Ralph Schumacher driving on the pit lane and, just when he passes by, four mechanics jump in the air. At a first look you would think that the German driver is to blame but the mistake was actually made by the mechanics, who were swept away by a hose.

As a quick reminder, Ralph Schumacher is the younger brother of seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher and his own career in the prestigious competition spanned 11 seasons, from 1997 to 2007, during which he started in 180 races, achieved 27 podium finishes and won six races. Since 2008, Ralph Schumacher is racing in the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters) with Mercedes."

Scary stuff. That could have been even worse if the hose wrapped around someones neck.

I always knew those big wings were dangerous!

Seriously, that was scary indeed. I hope the crew recovered.
