"Jules Bianchi at the Japanese GP in 2014."
Although he survived in hospital for over a year after it IIRC.
I suppose the armco was in a place where only a fairly freaky sort of incident would out a car anywhere near it. But that;'s what they ought to be legislating for these days I suppose. I remember at one of the last Le Mans races a bloke went quite a bit off the track and hit the armco just where there was a big tree behind it, which prevented it flexing at all and he died from the impact. They re-designed that bit of track.
