While doing research for a paper, I came across an interesting site on vehicle safety, vehicle testing and various bits of information, statistics, and videos on air bags, 5 MPH bumpers, etc. It might be a good source of info. for those involved in public education in the area of injury prevention in MVA's, i.e. use of seat belts, infant car seats, teenage driver education, etc.
I believe it is sponsored by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety and is supported by a conglomeration of insurance companies.
The web address is: http://www.hwysafety.org/default.htm
I hope it is of interest. If you have the time, download and watch the BMW head protection system test video. It took about 10-15 minutes to download but after watching it, I have a whole new outlook on head injuries and C-spine protection, especially when it comes to side impact collisions with immobile objects.
