​​​​​​​Motor vehicle crashes are a serious preventable public health concern and are among the leading causes of injury and death across the United States, killing nearly 100 people every day. Seatbelts are the single most effective safety device when it comes to preventing injury and death in motor vehicle crashes.

Falls are a major threat to the health and independence of older adults. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports 36 million older adults fall each year, with falls often leading to serious injuries and death.
