The San Marino Grand Prix at Imola would have been Ratzenberger's third race in Formula One. During the first qualifying session on Friday 29 April, he asked the more experienced Brabham to test his car out; the Australian vindicated Ratzenberger's assessment of the brakes, which had been troubling him at the previous races. According to Brabham, the issue was soon resolved to the satisfaction of both. The session was overshadowed when Jordan driver Rubens Barrichello hit a kerb at the Variante Bassa corner; his car, travelling at 225 km/h (140 mph), was sent airborne, and collided with the tyre barrier. Having received injuries to his nose and arm, Barrichello was transferred to a nearby hospital, and took no further part in the weekend.
The next day, the second qualifying session proceeded as normal until the moment of his accident. Early in the session, Ratzenberger went off the track at the Acque Minerali chicane. With his sponsor in attendance for the first time, and at the halfway point of his contract, he decided to carry on, after checking the car to the best of his abilities. Unknown to him, the minor incident had damaged his front wing; after a spin at the Tosa hairpin the previous lap, as he tried to turn into the high-downforce Villeneuve corner, it broke and became lodged under the car, which crashed into the outside wall at 314.9 km/h (195.7 mph).
Ratzenberger's crash was measured at about 500g, the highest g-force for a crash in Formula 1.

Jak dla mnie najciekawszym przypadkiem jest ten w którym kierowca (nie pamiętam jaki) dostał w łeb gaśnicą która wypadła z ręki gościa który biegł ugasić pożar jakiegoś bolidu, ale został potrącony przez inny bolid (ale nie pamiętam już czy tego co dostał w głowę, czy jeszcze innego). A tak BTW, to czy Senna też nie dostał, tylko z kolei kołem?
