I don't think it's as bad as it used to be, but a golden rule is that rally spectators are loving suicidal.

That class of racing was banned probably less than a year after that shot due to numerous spectator and driver deaths. There were basically no rules, so cars had over 600hp with 1980s suspension, brake, tire, and safety technology. Which is why they did this:

Dude received enough injuries to kill like 10 people yet somehow he didn't die. People often comment on how he looks fat for a Special Forces soldier. That picture was taken in 1981 after he had already left the army and had been in and out of hospitals for years to fix all those injuries he received on May 2, 1968.

When I was in service I had this fat guy in my company. Everybody made fun of him, even the staff until we got to the obstacle course for the first time and everybody saw him tore through it like it was nothing, on first try, wearing full combat kit.

That's a 'prosthetic' in the same way that taping a fork to her stump could be considered a prosthetic.


Hell, pop down to the local sex shop and buy a flesh covered silicone hand then hollow out the end and that would look a million times better than that papercraft poo poo she's got on.

I mean, if the goal of a prosthetic is to replace some functionality then it is a pretty lovely prosthetic, it looks purely decorative. But whatever. /pedant_rant

That's the driver's blood types isn't it? If they got in a severe enough crash where you had to know their blood types right then and there, you'd think the car would be so badly crumpled that you wouldn't even see it. Kinda pointless in my opinion, put that poo poo on their helmets or something.

Racing cars nowadays are pretty safe places, because they have roll cages and special crumple zones, etc. Back in the '80s, none of that special safety equipment really existed, so it didn't take much to kill a human; we're pretty fragile.

They were also on their racing suits and helmets. But if you can think of a number of times to write potentially life-saving advice on a person and their deathtrap racing machine that is too many, by all means complain about it.

Let's check out what 3D printing can actually do for people who have lost limbs to make their life better.

Hands and arms:












Legs:







These are bad rear end. The one posted by Say Nothing was certainly pretty and I'm sure it's handy* to walk around with a lightweight prosthetic, but given what people are doing right now with 3D printing, pretty is all it is.

If I remember correctly that picture came from a series portraying drugdealers/druglords on the mean streets of Nigeria. The hyenas were used to intimidated other gangs and people in general.
