Wow. That's so sad.
A testimonial from this guy would be a great addition to any flyers, articles, etc that are done about ERF. Having a living and paralyzed example of the hazards of a 2-year old FF might jar a few more people into the realities of the situation. It may not be "cool" or "fashionable", but physics doesn't lie.

Too bad all our seats in the US only go to 30-35 pounds rear-facing. Even if I had known about ERF (that acronym always makes me laugh ) when Hayley was small enough to still RF, she would have had to go FF at 2.5 years old anyway, because that's when she hit 35 pounds. She's very tall and long-torsoed, too, so it's possible she may have been too tall to RF by 32-33 pounds, right at 24 months.
In 1986, I doubt there even were any seats that went above 20/22 pounds RF.
