5 MPH Crash at University of Hartford Demonstrates Importance of Buckling Up

On Sept. 17, 2015, the Connecticut State Police teamed up with the University of Hartford Department of Public Safety to bring "The Convincer" to the UHart campus.  Students were able to experience what a "5 MPH car accident" would feel like...

Wow, that really looked like it hurt... and that was ONLY at 5 mph!  What a great initiative by the Connecticut State Police to showcase their seat belt safety simulator, a.k.a. "The Convincer".  I hope all those students remember that feeling every time they step into their own vehicles, and then buckle up.
