Yes, there is not much there to protect you. Things happen quickly with these cars, and the faster you are going, the faster bad things happen. The pictures remind me of a friends corvette. He was a few years older than me and was driving a 1974 vette at a high rate of speed. He hit the corner of an underpass and the car disintegrated similar to this one. There was a blue mark on the corner of the underpass and tire marks going down the walls and ceiling of the underpass. There was nothing left of the front of the car except for a twisted frame. The engine separated from the transmission and they both were in the tunnel. He somehow survived with numerous broken bones and a head injury. Was never the same after that.

Be careful. My condolences to the family.
