Some years ago, I came into possession of a rather large number of 16mm film prints. They filled a truck. A large truck. One of the hidden treasures when you are searching through old school films are the drivers’ ed movies – the ones with the gory accident footage. Lucky for you, dear reader, this is not one of those, but a fun crash test dummy film from the age before car seats. This frame is the moment of impact, just before the gratuitous slow motion footage of the little dummies ricocheting around the station wagon, bending those little plastic bodies into pretzels. But those little guys could just as easily be your kid and his friends, so buckle them up or they’ll die.
