He passed out in his car but his foot came to rest at the brake peddal, slowing him down to about 130 km/hour when he hit the wall front first. The damage to the helmet you see is from the piece hitting him at that speed.
One thing i don't get is this: Barrichello was a very long way before him finishing his lap at Q2 so what caused the piece of metal to still be bumping up and down the track? It must have been bumping for atleast 1 minute.... He had NO CARS infront of him.... just don't get it.
