Please be advised that this virtual field trip includes a live demonstration of an actual car crash test at a professional safety facility. While the demonstration is conducted under controlled and safe conditions by experts, the content may be intense or emotional for some participants, particularly younger students or students with prior car crash trauma.

The crash test will involve the collision of a vehicle to simulate real-world accident scenarios for educational purposes and safety ratings. Some students may find the sights, sounds, or implications of the demonstration to be disturbing.

Parental Discretion Advised: We encourage teachers, parents and guardians to carefully consider their child's sensitivity to such content before participating. If you believe that your child might find the experience upsetting, please discuss it with them beforehand or consider opting out of this portion of the virtual field trip.
