The famous German racing driver Hermann on the track of the Berlin Autodromm, 1959.
That day, at 280 km/h, his car's brakes failed and he drove his car into bags of straw, which served as safety buffers at the time. The car was toppled, overturned, the pilot fell out and slid down the wet rainy track. After a minor scare, he was nicknamed "Lucky Hans" and celebrated his 91st birthday this February (still).
