The Back Seat’s No Safer. Buckle Up.

Buckle Up

Many people think that they’ll be safe in a car accident as long as they’re sitting in the back seat. This amazing 3D billboard with a huge slingshot conveys the amount of force that will propel you forward in a collision.

I think it’s a great hard-hitting image to remind folks to buckle up, even in the back seat. One thing missing from the billboard is the variety of surfaces that you’ll hit after launch, like the glass windshield that’ll slice and dice you. Not sure where this billboard is located, but I’m loving whoever came up with the brilliant idea.

    Amazing ad! I always buckle up even in the backseat. Especially when my crazy friends are driving! :p

    that is frickin’ sweet. is the sling shot balancing itself? or is that tiny white piece a pole?

    Wahhh, brilliant billboard, id had to be launched from that, looks like a painful landing if that dude were to get slung out.

    looks like something the truth campaign would put out there.

    We’re always being reminded of buckling up on the backseat. You’re also fined about 70 bucks if you get caught.

    motor metaphor

    passenger seat = shotgun
    backseat = slingshot

    Riding a car is like riding in Lucifer’s chariot. It’s a very deadly machine to get killed in. So BUCKLE UP, and do the RIGHT way or end up in the HIGHWAY floor dead after the horrific catapult launch. You don’t want to meet DEATH don’t you?
