> My guess is that more damage was done by the head-on collision with the wall than by the errant spring Given that the medical treatment Massa has received all seems to relate to head/eye trauma I think it's pretty safe to say it's the spring that did the damage. Kovalainen's impact into the tires last year was similar and he pretty much walked away from that. > but without an airbag there isn't much to help the driver in a head on collision with no deflection That's specifically what the HANS device is for, it's a huge amount of help in that situation.
