Running slightly wide and launching over the huge perpendicular sausage kerbs at COTA, launching me into the air and landing directly onto another one resulting in a broken back, fractured in two places.

Unfortunately this only captures the very last bit of the incident, missing the part that actually did the damage. But it's the only external footage that I've found.

Big thank you to the safety team for getting me out safely and well done to them for helping another driver the following day after the exact same incident on a kerb and exact same injury.

Regardless as to how a driver ends up reaching a sausage kerb, be it through a mistake, being forced wide, abusing track limits, unconsciousness or worse, being greeted with something that will more than likely break your back isn't the answer. Cars are not designed to be launched. Given how many incidents resulting from sausage kerbs since their introduction, it's time to take steps forward with circuit safety and remove them.
