The school bus safety in this time has gotten better and worse, but the one thing you don’t see in school buses too often are the seatbelts. I believe that seat belts are needed in buses. The first patented seat belt was created by American Edward J. Claghorn on February 10, 1885 in order to keep tourists safe in taxis in New York City. This idea slowly became more popular in the manufacturing of other vehicles. Competing drivers were the first to be required to wear a seat belt. The real breakthrough

Coming out of 2016, many citizens in the United States and around the world are tired of hearing about politics, but when we need consider a situation where a group of people are not thinking, it is evident politics is the best example to demonstrate. The purpose of our political system is to introduce new laws into our society, and to amend current ones to better fit our current system. Politicians, therefore, have an extremely important job in creating and maintaining these laws. We as a society

that particular country. Independent testing organisations, such as Euro NCAP, perform a number of safety tests on new vehicles to confirm that the vehicle conforms to legislation [1]. These tests also score the vehicle on different safety aspects. Some manufactures use this score as a unique selling point of the vehicle so it is very important that it achieves a good score [2]. One procedure tests vehicle rollover which is a particular risk to SUV’s as they tend to have a higher centre of gravity than

Regulatory Oversight and Recall Congress began to hold high-profile hearings on automobile safety in 1965. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed both the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Highway Safety Act into law. The two bills gave the federal government authority to set and enforce safety standards for vehicles and roads. The NTMVSA was the first legislation mandating federal safety standards for motor vehicles. Although the safety standards in the NTMVSA were watered

values, some tests have been made which are crash tests. Crash tests have been using to measure the crashworthiness of the car. Crash tests have a various operation at hand, for example; frontal impact test, side crash test, rear impact test, offset frontal impact test etc. All of the tests have tremendous regulations which have been arranged by public authority. Also the regulations divided into subtests for example, low velocity and high velocity impact test. Meanwhile, high velocity crash

Reducing the Effects of Collisions Evaluate the effectiveness of safety features that have been introduced to vehicles in order to reduce the likelihood and/or effects of collisions. In a car crash, due to Newton’s first law, when the car stops suddenly, the body in the car continues moving forward at the same velocity of the car was moving previously but the body does not continue moving at the same velocity as it will hit an object inside the car, such as the steering wheel or dashboard. This force

strapped himself into the seat of a rocket sled to determine how much punishment a human could safely absorb during an ejection or a sudden deceleration (crash). To this day, the results of Col. Stapp's experiments still define the limits of human tolerance for the design of ejection systems and crashworthy seats. Rocket sleds are used to test anything that is designed for use in a high speed aircraft. In this environment, Mr. Murphy rules and, given the opportunity, anything can and will kill you

landings to the questioning of our government and other governments around the world. One of the many popular conspiracy theories that many talk about is the UFO incident of Roswell. To this day people embrace the UFO theory, and still visit the crash site each year. The events of Roswell still leave numerous questions unanswered; questions like: “What exactly happened there?”, “What is Project Mogul?”, and “Why did the public get so worked up over this?” First things first, what happened at Roswell

Houston car crash lawyer, there is an excellent chance that you recently had a close encounter with an airbag. Airbags are designed to prevent injuries in the event of a collision. Depending on the vehicle, the airbag may be released from the dashboard, the steering wheel or the doors of the vehicle. Although these devices are exceptionally simple in design, they still feature some innovative pieces of technology. In order to be effective, the airbag must open faster than a car can crash. While you
