S2E9 The Car Crash Detective with Ross Beesley If You Were An Engineer

Forensic collision investigator Ross Beesley is basically the Sherlock Holmes of car accidents – an expert in spotting unusual signs and figuring out how an accident happened. In this episode he tells us about the skills and techniques he uses to get to the bottom of a case, he explains some of the more unusual signs that can clue you into what’s happened, and he explains how he uses computer simulations in his work.

Patricia Ashman from Coventry University tells us about a proto-type she worked on for the If You Were An Engineer competition called the Wheelchair Swing.

Thanks to Shay and Mia from Sacred Heart Primary School in Bellshill in Scotland for sharing their engineering ideas with us.
