Formula One driver Zhou Guanyu likely wouldn\u2019t be alive today if it weren\u2019t for the partially closed titanium device that formed a protective layer around the cockpit of his race car. Zhou credited the protection device, known as a halo, for saving his life after a horrific crash during the first lap of Sunday\u2019s British Grand Prix, according to CNN<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m ok, all clear. Halo saved me today,\u201d Zhou tweeted Sunday, along with a selfie. \u201cThanks everyone for your kind messages!\u201d<\/p>\n

Zhou was one of several drivers involved in the turn one crash, which saw his Alfa Romeo flipping over and skidding across the track before crashing into the fencing. The halo, which forms partial protection around the cockpit, prevented Zhou from sustaining serious injuries. <\/p>\n

According to CNN<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Zhou\u2019s car ended up wedged between the tire barrier and catch fencing, which is there to protect fans. The awkward nature of the car\u2019s placement meant it took some time to extract him.<\/p>\n

Mercedes\u2019 George Russell, who made contact with Zhou during the collision, immediately got out of his car once it had come to a stop and ran over to check on Zhou.<\/p>\n

The rookie, who is the first Chinese driver in F1, was eventually pictured being stretchered away by emergency medical personnel and was later given the all clear after being assessed at the medical center.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The halo, which was introduced by F1 in 2018, was initially resisted by some drivers \u2014 though several have since credited it with saving their lives. The concept leaked in 2015<\/a>, following the death of IndyCar driver Justin Wilson during a race when his head was struck by debris. (A number of other F1 and IndyCar drivers have died in similar incidents<\/a>.) <\/p>\n

The halo was originally designed by Mercedes-Benz Motorsports, but the FIA took over the development process and began a round of testing in the fall. Other designs were tested<\/a>, including a similar design proposal<\/a> from the Red Bull Racing team. <\/p>\n
