John F. Carney III, UMR chancellor, shared his work with impact attenuation devices this afternoon as part of the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Graduate Seminar Series. The good news is the fatal crash rate is 20 percent of what it was 40 years ago. The bad news? People still aren't buckling up.

Carney shared several crash test videos (not including this one) during his presentation, much to the delight of the many undergraduate and graduate students in attendance. Perhaps those images will help change the mind of the one student who admitted to not using his seat belt.
