They're usually willing to give researchers access to their data, the whole point is to find any and all ways to make motoring safer, and thus less expensive to insure. The IIHS first came up with the idea of "crumple zones" to soften front and rear impacts, and they helped pioneer side air bags.The_Metatron wrote:I just posted a letter to them, asking if their crash data contains information on motorcycle installed equipments.
