I was curious as to how many of your depts participate in "Mock Accidents" such as The ever-famous DUI on Prom night.
For those of you unaware of what I am talking about; here is the scoop.
At some High Schools around the US; Members of EMS and local law enforcement organize a Mock Accident on the school campus. The students gather to see what is going on; and as the team extricates the teens from the
car and even pronounces some of them dead; one member comes out and explains to them abt drunk driving; and the damage it can cause. Alot of times,
these teams invite the mothers and fathers of students killed by drunk drivers to come and speak with the students abt what happened to their child; and exactly how it affects families, friends, and communities.
Here is a video of one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDgO3x9ILBo
In my opinion this is an excellent way to get the message across; show
them the truth, do not sugarcoat it.
What do you guys think?
There are also a string of commercials(I am not sure in what country); that show the reality
of these situations; here is one that was put on YouTube:

CAUTION; THIS COULD BRING TEARS TO YOUR EYES--EVEN TO SEASONED EMS
