You must not be watching the right part of the video.
The head on crash is the second car to hit the barrier NOT the #2 car.
It is a head on crash because the first thing to hit was his front end and it was near straight on into the barrier.
The second driver in the interview is Elliot Sadler who survived the 80 G impact.
Very few humans encounter that kind of force and walk away nearly unscathed.
A shuttle Astronaut encounters 3Gs during launch and a Pilot taking off an aircraft carrier via the catapult encounters around 6Gs at the highest during takeoff.
