National Passive Safety Crash Demonstration Day
Organised by Passive Safety UK and Sponsored by Mason Street Furniture.
Have you ever seen what happens when a vehicle collides with crash barrier at high speed? Or witnessed for yourself the life-saving capabilities of passively safe, crash friendly street furniture?
Well now you can! On 6th July 2022 Passive Safety UK will be holding another FREE to attend National Passive Safety Crash Demonstration Day.
The event is taking place at Darley Moor Sports Centre, near Ashbourne, Derbyshire. DE6 2ET.
Live crash demonstrations will include: a traditional, unforgiving 140mm diameter steel post struck at high speed; an aluminium passive post from Varley & Gulliver (Hi Mast 2000) installed within the working width of a TCB restraint system; an aluminium passive post (Pole Products) supporting a Westcotec VMS, solar panel and wind turbine assembly, a 15m KAPU HE classed lighting column from Mallatite and a new fibre composite signal pole from FSP, complete with energised signal heads and an electrical isolation system.
Additional demonstrations and a large exhibition of other products and services compatible with road safety will also take place adjacent to the crash area. Due to the opportunity to learn from the day, this event is endorsed for CPD certificates by both the CIHT and the IHE.
Yes, places are FREE but are strictly only available when booked in advance.
Admission to the site will only be granted to those whose booking has been confirmed.
Places are limited and these events are often over-subscribed, so you are advised to book early to avoid disappointment. As of the 18th of February we have 300 confirmed attendees but we still have room for more.

Ritherdon will be participating with our Atlas Retention Socket in the crash demo day.
We will also be exhibiting, so come find us at Stand 7, we’re next to colleagues TMP and ALC.
We will be showcasing our Passively Safe Cabinet which has also recently been approved for use on the SRN by National Highways. There will be plenty of information on all of our stainless steel enclosure range and our Atlas Socket, Electrical Disconnection System (PEIS) and PolePlugs as well as our National Highways Cabinets too.
