Mark Niver, an NHRA drag racer, is dead after suffering a high-speed car crash near Seattle on Sunday. He was killed after the parachutes on his vehicle "ripped off," preventing him from stopping before the lethal collision.

Thats not good, second NHRA driver to be killed recently.

After watching that it didnt look like he went into the net all that hard and the net did its job.

Looks like the net is very strong to withstand much faster impacts, in this case it did the damage.
