impact car crash (t bone car crash) and mentions that the cadaver, UM006, “is helping researchers figure out how much force a human shoulder… can withstand before it registers a serious injury” (Roach 87). Because of cadavers like UM006, we have made tremendous strides in automobile safety, and saved tens of thousands of lives (which could not have been done with crash test dummies). Roach also interviews Dennis Shanahan, an injury analysis and investigator of the TWA flight 800 crash in 1996. Shanahan

In 2011 there were 650 deaths of children who were not properly buckled or in a car seat when riding in a vehicle, with the use of a booster that could have been extremely reduced. Families are out on road trips so much more than in the past, which means that children are in the car far more than they used to be (“Booster ...” 1). Almost 7, 000 children were involved in accidents in 2006 and 45% of them were not restrained and received fatal injuries (“Statistics...” 6). In 2006, there were approximately

The hypothesis is that the “brace position” is meant to kill you by breaking your neck, instead of protecting you from impact. The logic being, that it is cheaper for an airline to pay for a wrongful death settlements, which would cost approximately

Life Saver In the past years, car accidents are the leading cause of death. In 2009 alone, crashes killed over 33,000 people and injured another 2.2 million. More than half of the people killed in car crashes were not restrained at the time of the crash. I know most of you guys probably don’t want to hear me talk about statistics or about seatbelts and why you should wear them and listen to some boring speech you have heard time and time again. But please hear me out. You might have excuses that sound

     States across the nation have seat belt laws in place that make it a requirement for drivers and passengers in vehicles that are being operated on public streets to wear some sort of safety belt. In 1998, 41,471 people were killed in 6,334,000 reported motor vehicle accidents in the United States. Seat belts are estimated to save 9,500 lives each year, and statistics show a higher degree of seat-belt use in states that aggressively enforce seat belt laws. The laws, as

Mandatory seat belt laws and motorcycle helmet laws have been a controversial topic and there has been much argument between the two sides. I will be presenting both sides of the argument and I will be giving my opinion on this topic. Many motorcyclists despite knowing the benefits of wearing a helmet, are still against the forced helmet laws. A very common argument that is used against these laws for motorcyclists, is that it would be a violation of their civil liberties. Jeff Hennie of the Motorcycle

Although it is also known as a safety belt, the “safety” part is the key issue that is causing much controversy around drivers, manufacturers, and researchers alike. The main idea around the debate is the fact that although research indicates that when

Government interference was first introduced under the automobile industry dating back to the very early 1900s, with a large topic that many people miss when going back into history: the safety of it all. We, the population of today, are given the ability to drive up to 85mph without thinking twice about it, our only focus being on the destination. This is recompensed to the drivers of the twenty-first century through the technical advances in firm laws, better drivers-education systems, and safer
