See it: IndyCar windshield saves driver's life as its struck by debris
Fox News
IndyCar has shared video of the Aeroscreen on Callum Ilott's car deflecting debris from a crash past his head to demonstrate the safety device's effectiveness.
The Aeroscreen features an aerospace-quality polyester shield wrapped around a titanium frame that has a post centered in front of the driver's face and a hoop around the top. An additional metal splitter is mounted to on the outside of the screen.
In the video, fellow driver Jack Harvey can be seen crashing ahead of Illot during practice at Texas Motor Speedway in March as they are both traveling over 200 mph. Illott then weaves through several large sections of Harvey's car before a pushrod jumps up and hits the screen, glancing off it without causing any damage.
