Donald Friedman (1927-2015)
Don was a pioneer of vehicle crashworthiness and occupant safety research and testing, saving thousands of lives. He testified before Congress on numerous occasions, authored more than 150 technical papers and 7 patents and paved the way for more strict government vehicle safety standards. He developed the Minicars Transit and Car Rental System; research safety vehicles (RSV) for NHTSA; quasistatic (M216) and dynamic (JRS) dummy-occupied full-scale vehicle rollover crash test fixtures; and the HALO rollover protective system. In his last 30 years, Don testified in more than 1,000 personal injury and product liability cases; he identified numerous vehicle defects and helped win landmark cases that forced recalls and safety improvements. His life’s most significant contributions also included design of the periscope system for the first nuclear submarine; the infrared seeker and guidance control for the Sidewinder missile; and the 3 Lunar Rovers.
