Seat Belt Convincer

Convincer Operation

So, how does it work? To begin, the rider must sit in the Convincer and put on the seat belt. Once the rider is properly fastened in the seat belt and its fitment is double-checked, the operator rotates the lever from the "return" position to the "convince" position. The secured rider slides down the track and collides with the front bumpers, safely experiencing a simulated crash. After impact, the rider exits the machine at the bottom. The Convincer is then returned to the top of the carriage in preparation for the next rider.

The Convincer features simple towing and set-up procedures for operator convenience. You can download the operating manual for the Seat Belt Convincer below.

Liability Concerns

Liability is a common concern among many departments with respect to the use of the Convincers. We began manufacturing the Convincers several years ago upon the request of the Kansas Highway Patrol, which has been using the devices for close to 30 years. On the inside of every Convincer's carriage is a Safety Sign that lists cautionary recommendations so that all participants can read and understand the risks associated with riding the device.
