Drag racing isn't recognized and appreciated as much as Nascar, and I don't think it right. I think it's much more exciting and more dangerous than nascar. It also takes more skill than just going around and around.moreless

Let me give you and example of Drag Racing. Imagine going from 315 to 325 miles per hour. Everything going by you in a blurr. Then all of a sudden your back rear tires get blown out and your cars body breaks into a thousand pieces. Your cars frame breaks in two, and your seat straps are all thats keeping you from falling out on to the ground and being crushed, your legs are draging on the hot pavement going 315 miles per hour, them you suddenly and abruptly you hit the barrier and come to a stop...upside down! You don't know if your dead or alive. You just know that you are in much pain. You just went 58 G's, if you don't know what I'm talking about,let me explain "G's" It's the gravitaional pull on ones body or object. The Shuttle is only doing 4 G's on take off. A drag racing car goes 58 G's on take off. Take your body weight and multiply it by 58, thats how much the gravitational pull is in that car! All that I just discribed at the top, is what happened to John Force, a 14 time NHRA Champion this past Sunday in Texas..and he survived it! I think a show needs to be done on him. Thats all I have to say.moreless

Impact: Stories of Survival. Exactly what it sounds like.

9.2

By gumcurls, Aug 10, 2007

Impact: Stories of Survival takes you through different cases of shocking, scary, yet everyday stories. Whether it's a serious motor accident cycle accident, a snowboarding adventure gone amiss, or a cheerleader's stunt that took a wrong turn, Impact: Stories of Survival shows you all. I think the show is very interesting. The cases that they work on are heartbreaking. The show makes you trust people in the medical profession more and helps people to be more cautious and think twice about doing dangerous events. Overall, Impact: Stories of Survival is very entertaining and addictive. I reccomend it to anyone (who doesn't have a weak stomach) who loves hearing real life stories and who likes doctor shows.moreless

The first time I saw this show, it was by accident. I had caught the one with the man who crashed into a bale of hay while louge (sp?) racing and near broke his whole foot off. I\'ll be honest; it scared the daylights out of me. The screaming, the foot just hanging there like that, the straw peeking out of his wound like he was the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz and he had started coming apart. I debated whether I would ever watch that again.

I do still watch it. It just amazes me to no end how these things can happen. You always think \"What are the odds?\" and then something unexpected just happens, like two plane jumpers crashing into one another, or a marlin umping out of the water and striking a woman in the arm and chest. It is definitely an interesting watch. If you haven\'t seen it, I recommend it.moreless

Out of all of the reality documented show's I've seen, "Impact: Stories of Survival" is deffinently the best.

This show not only shows you the footage of impact, or the re-enactment, but it also takes you through the person of impacts life through recovery. Some of the things shown are quite interesting, and some just plain out gruesome. It makes you wonder, "How can people live through things like this?".

Let me tell you, this show is very entertaining, and will keep you watching from beginning to end. If you're thinking that this show might be a waste of your time, think no more. Believe me, this show is deffinently not a waste of your time, it's anything but. You'll be glad you've taken the time to watch, as it will be worth it, every second.
