RE: UAB engineering researchers getting new test lab at Barber Motorsports Park
That is cool that Barber is doing that. Hopefully alot of good research will come from that.
I really thought the last two paragraphs was interesting.
Despite the success his systems have demonstrated, not everyone is pleased. Sicking describes another letter he received—this one from a highway patrolman—who came upon an accident where the driver got out of his car and started cursing and kicking at the vehicle. When the policeman got closer, he heard the man say, “I can’t even kill myself right.”
“Over the years, I’ve heard of several other police officers who say someone admitted at an accident that they had been trying to commit suicide by hitting one of our systems,” Sicking says. “I think that’s a pretty good testimonial of how effective they can be.”

As part of my attempt to insert the OCS topic into every thread....
I think the sports medicine department needs a new test lab nearby as well.
