TOYING WITH DEATH—HE PROVES WHY REAR SEAT IN CAR IS MOST DANGEROUS
J. H. Van Norman, originator of the circus thrill of “looping the loop” in an auto demonstrates in his pres-
ent thriller just why the occupants of the rear seat are most frequent ly hurt in auto accidents. “While
the force of gravity,” he says, “should bring a heavier body to earth faster than a light one where a pivoted
body is suddenly stopped the centrifugal force overcomes gravity.”
His point is proved by his picture, taken at Bridgeport, Conn., showing Van Norman in the midst of a cycle
drive into a shallow tank of water. Note that the centrifugal force th rows his body, weighing 150 pounds
or so, clear over the net and into the tank, while the lighter bicycle falls- almost straight down and reaches
the earth first. In the same way, the centrifugal force “catapults” occup ants from the rear seat of a car,
when it is involved in a collision, sc that they are thrown a great distance with stunning force, while those
in the front seat may escape with a shaking up and glass cuts.
