The highest survived crash speed was 579 km/h

Did you know, that the fastest crash speed that did not cause the death of the driver happened at the speed of 579 km/h (360 mph)? It may sound improbable, but it actually happened when Donald Campbell crashed his car ‘Bluebird’ when he was trying to set a new land speed record at Bonneville, USA. The vehicle rolled over, and Campbell fractured his skull, yet against all the odds he survived.
