Great except half the people I see don't even use a child seat. Hopefully the other half support your product. Good Luck.

Interesting concept. If it saves one life, or one kid from paralysis, it will have been worth it.

Good luck to both of you.

How many G's is your sled? How many newtons on the dummy child head? Is there a stat for newtons before injury in children? Maybe because of the unpredictability of the child size a damper might be a better choice than a tether as the damper will respond differently to varying forces?

I would have bought one for my kids.

Hadley was there and when I returned to the room after calming my daughter down the investor left...???!!!

i was advised to tuffit out and get it tested and ready for sale before approaching investors. I have spent every dime i could beg barrow or steal . i had money set up to come in but when my wife freaked they split..i spent 2 weeks in attorney offices making it safe for investors..got the go ahead Thursday of the week before testing..its the perfect storm of circumstances friends are buying me food and gas.. but the vultures are circling.. but keep in mind those that know me know im an *** kicker.. 6'2" and 220 lbs of shear determination.. the taller and thicker the walls put in front of me the further i back up to run and smash them!!! im not a religious man but pray for me!!!

info is very hard to find Dr. Sunnys sources only could find limited info.. at 35 mph at a factor of one a 5 lb. head stopping in a distance of one foot becomes @ a 225 lb. projectile and he found a 150 lb is survivable.. but i imagine the kid would be a mess..
