NAPARS is hosting the Joint Conference this year in Ocean City MD, with live crash testing - we'll be conducting additional underride tests to support the testing done earlier this year by Forensic Training Group in Tulsa. Registration is open. Some early adopters are already signed up and the first vendor slot is spoken for. Visit the EVENTS page for more details on the speakers, venue, and the plan. Peace. -W
Next month's Zoomie will be 2 hours with one of the guys who Literally wrote the book on bicycle crash analysis. I'm really looking forward to it! This is approved for 2 ACTAR CEUs. Registration is open at the EVENTS page. Peace. -W
There has been a change of plan regarding the April Zoomie. The Bendix Data Recorder presentation will be happening at a time TBD later in the year. Instead, I will be presenting "So You Have a Motorcycle Crash. Now What?" A primer on handling a motorcycle crash scene. It will be offered at the same time slot originally assigned to this BDR-presentation. Please visit the NAPARS page to sign up if you'd like to attend. The BDR-registration will NOT carry over automatically.
I have emailed those who paid to attend to offer refunds.
We are submitting a request for ACTAR CEUs.
I apologize for any disruption or inconvenience this change may cause.
Breaking news: WREX 2030 will be hosted on May 6 - 10, 2030 at the Round Rock Kalahari resort in Texas. Mark your calendars!
Tomorrow's Zoom presentation on Anatomy for Crash Reconstructionists with Cameron Trepeck has ACTAR-approval for 2 CEUs. You can still sign up at the Events page.
March's presentation on Occupant Kinematics with Greg Sullenberger is also approved for 2 CEUs. I have opened registration for that one, as well as APRIL's Bicycles and Electric Bicycles presentation by Roman Beck (which is still in the CEU-application process).
When you sign up, you'll get an email with the link for that show. Free for NAPARS members, just $6 otherwise.
More news as it happens. Hope to see you there tomorrow. Peace. -W
