What Parents Need to Know
About Crash Science
Parents need to know that vehicles are shown spinning out of control, sailing through the air, and bursting into flames after crashing -- all of which may scare young viewers. Video footage of rescue efforts sometimes includes shots of victims laid on stretchers, and victims give detailed accounts of their thoughts during the crashes, including wondering whether they'd live or die. But the series does shed light on how high-tech construction of various types of vehicles helps save lives, and curious tweens who can handle the wreckage scenes may be intrigued by science's take on vehicular safety.
