Roof Crush : What Many in the Automobile Industry Don't Want You to Know About Preventable Deaths, Brain Trauma, Paralysis, and Other Catastrophic Injuries Due to Rollover Roof Crush Accidents
The Patient's Voice is pleased to bring our listeners a special series dedicated to those who have suffered the senseless deaths and severe injuries resulting from roof crush during a rollover accident.
In a nation of failed healthcare policy, the victims of such preventable, catastrophic injures are limited (at best) to proper access for necessary care, and taxpaers are picking up the bill for millions in healthcare costs associated with the neglegence of the auto manufacturers.
Each year, 10,000 deaths occur and an estimated 16,000 people suffer catastrophic injuries, including brain trauma and spinal cord injuries resulting in paralysis in rollover accidents. .
In recent years, documentation has surfaced that proves what automobile manufactures have known for decades; that roof crush injuries are PREVENTABLE at a cost estimated, in some cases, about that of a family movie night out with popcorn and a soda.
Perhaps more stunning is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's own failure to provide adequate oversight and policy, including standardized testing that would protect consumers -- testing that simulates the true nature of roof strength during a rollover accident. The influence of the auto manufacturing industry over such testing is undeniable, and the actions (or lack of them) by NHTSA is contemptable. Today, engineers with up to 30 years in the auto manufacturing industry are speaking out about what they knew, when they knew it, and why nothing was ever done.
NO IMMUNITY FOR AUTO MANUFACTURES: In what can only be described as a compounding travesty, a current bill proposes immunity for the auto makers against future lawsuits if their vehicles meet the pathetically new and weak proposed standard, which the government has admitted will only save 13-44 lives (out of the current 10,000 deaths each year). In other words, NHTSA is guaranteeing that thousands of people will continue to die or be catastrophically injured each year from roof crush in rollover accidents and those victims will have no legal recourse. YOUR SENATORS MUST HEAR FROM YOU!
