Fuel Tank - Fire
	If vehicle occupants survive the trauma of a crash, they should not burn to death. Some recent cars have fuel tanks unsafely located behind the rear axle that get crushed and punctured in rear impacts.
Truck Underride Hazards
	When a passenger vehicle crashes into and underrides beneath the tall rear or side of a large truck or trailer, the top of the car is crushed into, causing severe head trauma or decapitation to the occupants.
Conspicuity
	Many car-into-truck accidents occur in the dark of night, when a tractor-trailer rig pulls onto a road or backs into a driveway, and the oncoming car's driver can't perceive the danger in time.
Rollover - Roof Crush
	If an occupant is killed or paralyzed in a rollover accident, and the roof and support pillars have buckled and crushed downward, then compromises in roof strength may be likely defect issues.
Seat Backrest Collapse
	In a rear impact, the occupant's inertial force against a seat's weak backrest can cause it to recline and twist rearward. The occupant "ramps up" the backrest and slams head-first into the rear seat area.
Side-Impact Intrusion
	Every year, about 8,000 fatalities and 69,000 serious injuries occur in side impacts. Head trauma and spinal injuries are caused by excessive penetration or intrusion into the occupant's "survival space".
Powerful Airbags...and Fragile Kids
	Airbags are proven life-savers. But some airbag systems have unfortunately caused severe / fatal injuries to children, and to shorter drivers close to the steering wheel.
Side Windows - Ejection
	About 7,800 vehicle occupants are killed each year after being ejected, many through side windows of thin tempered glass that easily shatters, primarily in rollover and side impact accidents.
Seatbelts - Slack & Automatics
	Excessive "spool-out" of the belt from its retractor, often as much as 5 inches or more, allows the belted occupant to slam their head into the steering wheel or dash or windshield, or out the side window.
Vehicle Mismatch: Big SUVs, Little Cars
	When a large, tall, heavy SUV or pickup crashes into and penetrates a car's "survival space", the occupants of the car are much more likely to be severely injured or killed.
Door Latch - Ejection
	Too often the struck car's doors "pop open" in collisions or rollovers, and the driver or passengers are ejected out onto the road. Fatalities are three times more likely to occur to an occupant who is ejected.
Backup Lights & Alarms
	Many workers are run over or crushed each year when large trucks and tractor-trailers back up without any warning.
School Bus Hazards
	School buses need safer fuel tanks, the use of non-flammable seat materials, fire extinguishers, emergency escape windows and roof hatches to enable rapid escape and rescue in the event of a fire.
