America Needs Car Bumpers That Work!

The SEM (Solid Ejection Material) shock technology does an excellent of absorbing the Kinetic Energy from vehicle crashes. There is a distinct need to improve automobile crash damage costs because with some vehicle designs it can cost more to insure your car than it takes to fuel it! Check out a recent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety report (http://www.iihs.org/sr/pdfs/sr4202.pdf) where they tested 17 new model cars in 4 low speed collisions. Three car models actually experienced over $4,500 in damages in a single frontal impact test, with a moderate impact speed of 6.0 mph! One of the impact speeds for our SEM modified test truck was 7.5 mph! And there was no damage delivered to the test truck. By the way a 7.5 mph crash has 50% more Kinetic Energy than a 6.0 mph crash. What do you think the repair costs would be for those 3 test cars if the IIHS used a 7.5 mph crash instead of a mere 6.0 mph? The Auto Industry really needs to improve their cars crash performance and the SEM technology can do that job.
