Inferno-
The reason the impact of Dale's crash is worse than rollover crashes is because in a head-on crash with the wall there is a massive deceleration from 190MPH to zero in a matter of seconds. That is just too much force for the brain to take.

In a rollover crash energy is dissipated more with each hit and the car decelerates much slower than in a head on crash.

God bless Dale!
