Seat Belt Convincer
The
Seat Belt Convincer was designed and fabricated by Frank as an aide in teaching people the necessity of using seatbelts to avoid serious injury in a car crashes resulting in rollovers. In the demonstration, the "dummies" in the simulator that are not restrained by a seatbelt are thrown from the simulator in a terrifying real enactment of the deadly results of seatbelt negligence. Today, the Rollover Simulator is being used by law enforcement, schools, driver training and insurance companies worldwide.

- Decreasing severity of injury suffered as a consequence of rollover and other crashes;
- Increasing the number of children riding in the back seat.
