NPR’s Brian Naylor recently published an article detailing exactly how the use of crash tests and the dummies involved help to reduce traffic deaths. The article also linked to a top safe vehicles list published by the Institute for Highway Safety that can be found by following the link within the article. The use of crash tests for vehicles has traced a dramatic improvement in the overall safety of our vehicles since the year 1995, and this research is compounded through the use of high-tech crash dummies which can now sense loads applied by both the deformation of the vehicle and the impulse of the crash. Be sure to follow the link (here) to read the full and informative article.
