I still think it must be seatbelts, assuming the LFA is built to the same strength as the SLR (which I'm sure it is) then the carbon fibre shells on them are ridiculously strong.

Sure we all remember this:

Obviously it's sad for anyone to lose their life, but I find it even sadder when someone has done something quite dangerous for their whole lives but survived just through being good, then to go out in a normal road crash is such a shame.

Gord Speed is a very big factor in any crash, it saying head on crash, most people do not survive a head on crash above 70mph, the force of the impact rips all your internal parts out Confusedad:

Also a good point, head on crash could easily have had a combined impact speed of 100mph.
