The debate about cockpit head protection in Formula Cowboys La'el Collins Authentic Jersey 1 and other single-seater racing categories has been reignited by the death of British driver Justin Wilson in an IndyCar accident last week. In fact, Wilson's death has merely underlined what was already obvious - this is a problem that needs solving as soon as possible. The fatal incident involving Wilson, who was 37, was the latest in a series of accidents that have highlighted that the drivers' heads are now the single biggest concern in crashes of this type of racing car. Beyond that, there have been a series of close calls. In F1 this year, two-time world champion Fernando Alonso has twice had accidents which highlighted the vulnerability of the head as a major concern in F1. The Spaniard suffered concussion in a crash at Barcelona in pre-season testing, and was lucky not to be injured when his McLaren ended up on top of Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari after the Finn lost control on the first lap of the Austrian Grand Prix. Even at the most recent F1 meeting in Belgium just over a week ago two accidents in support races highlighted this concern. In the GP2 race, Daniel de Jong hit his helmet on the tyre barrier in an accident in which he also suffered a broken back; and in the GP3 event a loose wheel hit the front of the car of Matt Parry, just a couple of feet from his helmet, an incident very similar to the one that killed Surtees. Then there was the series of crashes in Cowboys Lance Dunbar Elite Jersey practice for this year's Indy 500 in which cars overturned at more than 200mph. Each one of those accidents can be - and has been - described as "freak", in the sense that the specific circumstances were unusual and unlikely to be repeated. But it is abundantly clear that there is a trend about which something needs to be done. This is a large part of the reason why the F1 drivers were so sensitive to the two high-speed tyre failures suffered by Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel at the Belgian Grand Prix. Rosberg and Vettel - and their colleagues - were very aware that had those incidents happened a couple of hundred metres earlier or later, they would have led to very severe crashes at close to 200mph. When I started racing in the 1980s, the biggest concern tended to be severe leg injuries, or big crashes that might not have killed you, but gave you major problems for the rest of your life. There are a lot of ex-F1 drivers from the 1980s http://www.nflcowboysofficial.com/Authentic-Larry-Allen-Jersey walking around with pronounced limps at the moment because of the vulnerability of drivers' legs in an F1 car in those years. And Martin Donnelly is an example of the full-body crash. His Lotus pretty much exploded around him when he crashed at Jerez in 1990, and he was very badly smashed up in the impact. But as safety has improved in a number of areas - the understanding of carbon fibre, how to attach suspension more effectively, impact tests and so on - the majority of serious accidents now involve head or spinal injuries. Head injuries were always the ones I worried about most in my career, because the recovery from them is so unpredictable. Motorsport must find a way to protect drivers
