Mark Martin was extraordinarily lucky not to come off worse in this freak crash during the Michigan 400, which is still going on as I write this.
Martin, who had started from pole position, spun into the pit lane in and his car was skewered by the exposed end of a barrier:

Accidents like this serve to remind us that even the slightest lapse in safety standards could have dire consequences. Thankfully he wasn’t going much quicker when he hit it, and the barrier didn’t strike closer to his position in the car.
