Bumpers and Accidents:

A lot of accidents have been reported in the history of mankind but the modern vehicles are designed in a manner to keep the accidents at bay. With the help of bumpers, a motor vehicle is saved for severe damages and the cost of repairing is also minimized to a certain extent. A collision between a car and a truck is fatal and results in the death of many people annually in many countries. Having a bumper on a vehicle is usually a legal requirement but good bumper of a truck would have various safety features.

Safety Features of Truck bumper:

The safety features of a good truck bumper would include the following:

-A good bumper serves the purpose to minimize the impact of a collision at the time of accident hence, a good truck bumper would be designed based on the laws of physics. Kinetic energy plays a significant role in creating an impact at the time of collisions but with the help of a well-designed bumper, the impact of the kinetic energy would be balanced keeping in consideration the speed and the mass of the truck involved. Head trauma is very common in such kind of accidents.

-A good truck bumper would be soft at the front so that if an accident occurs the legs of the pedestrian are not severely affected. However, the maintenance of a pedestrian-friendly bumper would be costly since the repair cost for such bumpers is usually higher.

-One of the most vital safety features which are not yet common in the truck industry is the utilization of a rear underride guard which is called the ICC Bar. This feature is a must in order to minimize the effects of accidents.

Thus, it could be said that a good truck bumper with at least a few safety features would play a vital role in minimizing the accidents.
