sounds like they're british, perhaps the laws are different than in the states. either way they should have been wearing helmets.
Still can't figure out why the bags didn't deploy. Maybe it was because they rolled the car first possible damaging the sensors.....
glad they were not hurt

those guys weren't fazed....look like they have done that a couple times 
Bags wont deploy unless there is significant front or rear end contact. If the car has the side airbags those should of gone. Oh well, everyone is ok so thats good!

Could it be that they disable airbags on the track for some reason or another?
