RE: The Crumple that Saves

in #stemng6 years ago

Hello @greenrun

Before reading this, I have occasionally wondered why crashes involving the above mentioned businesses would always result into a lot of deaths, to the extent that, for me, it is either a luxurious coaster bus or nothing. And I have been practicing this strict decision since the event of my accident.

I can see the the countries where the leadership values human life have already taken practical steps against all these moving deathtraps in the name of vehicles, while Nigeria leadership are yet to take any concrete step against these vehicles. Such a pity!

The crumple zone was designed to reduce the severity of injury by distributing the force of collision to the vehicle through decreasing the stopping time of the car hence lessening its impulse which reduces the impact force of the crash.

That's noteworthy.

The lack of seatbelts in these mini buses increases the risk. Sadly our regulatory bodies do not care enough to insist on compliance.
