Car took a pretty good hit. Driver compartment looked mostly intact.

Very sad indeed....condolences to his family.

Yes...if you have the old style 'duck bill' lap belts, if they are not completely locked down, they can become undone. You have to ensure that they 'click' into the final postion to be completely locked.

...I have seen this happen a number of times....most unusual was at VIR many years ago, a Second Strike event, driver was ejected and the rear wheel landed on his helmeted head...he was ok.
