Rollover Simulator (Saskatchewan)Administrator: SGI and RCMP Background: For every two people who die in an automobile collision where they were not wearing a seatbelt, one would have lived had they taken the time to buckle up. "RCMP members attend far too many survivable rollover crashes on the roadways in Saskatchewan where someone has died because they were not buckled up," notes Inspector Don Ross, RCMP Officer in charge of Traffic Services. "We believe the rollover simulator can help us save lives by showing people that seatbelts are the best protection in most types of single vehicle crashes." Goal: The goal of the rollover simulator is to help save lives by showing people that seatbelts are the best protection in most types of single-vehicle crashes. The Rollover Simulator: The rollover simulator is a cab of a vehicle with a motorized encasement mounted on its top. The encasement rolls the cab, simulating a rollover incident, and straw-filled dummies are used to show the effectiveness of seatbelts with them being belted and later unbelted. SGI has partnered with the RCMP to take this simulator on the road to rural high schools, First Nations communities, trade fairs, malls, and other community events as part of its traffic safety education program. To request the rollover simulator for a community event, people should call their local Saskatchewan RCMP detachment or use the contact information below.
