I came across this picture whilst I was surfing around on the Net but couldn't find the associated story that went with it. Does anyone know who this is and what happened? Looks like a lucky escape!

Given that everything else around his legs is gone, it's pretty amazing he's still got his pants on.

Laguna Seca, August 14, 2004, Frederico Kroymans (Ferrari and Maserati importer for Holland):
The entire Ferrari Formula One field ran exhibition/demonstration laps Saturday midday, with at least one driver demonstrating how it was not to be done. FREDERICO KROYMANS of Holland crashed his #3 1999 F399 Ferrari in Turn Six. Kroymans was unhurt, save for a sore knee, but the car will need a severe rhinoplasty. When JIM BUSBY' s#5 1997 D310B came around the bend he saw the crashed car and stopped to help. Busby said the driver was slumped over with his legs sticking out. Kroymans sat up with a start upon seeing Busby, unhooked his seatbelts and got up. He was walking around when the San Francisco Region SCCA emergency crew arrived. The car was towed in and quickly covered by the Ferrari crew. Busby said Kroymans was fortunate he was in such a stout, well-made car.

... and Stan Fox at Indy that time.
And I think it was either Moreno or Fabi or somebody like that who got squarely T-boned at full speed and walked away, say a little over a decade ago? I remember the car being yellow.

We all know that the picture is actually Fred Flintstone testing his new racing car
