Ada third graders witnessed a great lesson on seat belt safety this week.

Michael Harnishfeger, Ada police chief, used  SAFER Bob the Egg in his demonstration.

"For the past 12 years, when I ask the kids what we should name the egg, our crash test dummy, the name has always been "Bob."

He adds: "This is a very valuable lesson in seat belt use. We crash the car with Bob in a seat belt and he survives. When we take the belt off, Bob is ejected from the car and cracks. An excellent visual and great reminder to always wear your seat belt.
