Sometimes competition takes a lot out of you. You might tweak your knee, pull a muscle, or watch as the car you're in blows up. That last option is what happened to NHRA Funny Car driver Ron Capps. Because of engine failure the car burst into flames and blew off the rear section of it. 

Capps was just fine, but he looks like he just saw his life flash before him when the car slows down and he waits to get out. Watching all the different angles, including POV, and slow motion is scary enough. We can't imagine what it would have been like to be in the car.
