We just got home from helping with Aaron Kiefer’s latest side guard test. Watch it here:

Aaron will be taking this truck with his innovative side/rear guard to the Underride Roundtable at IIHS next week for everyone to see. Then he plans to leave it there in hopes that IIHS will do their own crash testing of his prototype.

Here’s my report on the first crash test of his side guard prototype on March 13, 2016: Witnessed safety defect in action at underride crash tests; this is what snuffed out my daughters’ lives.

If only more had been done to protect against underride before it was too late for Mary and AnnaLeah.
