Preventing Road Accidents - Guard in closed position
In the closed position before a person hits it.
A short selection of photos showing a device that could be fitted on large vehicles to stop people going under the front wheels of a bus or lorry.
An idea from the mid 1930s
When hit by a person, the spring device releases a guard that stops the victim been taken under the wheels, although the person is pushed for a few feet until the bus stops and there will be injuries, it prevents the body from any crushing.
In 1930 the official figures show that 1,685 children under 14 years of age were killed on British roads, had this invention been in use it might have been less.
