DID YOU KNOW?

• 59,000:  the number of pedestrians injured by cars annually
• Every 2 hours:  the frequency in which a pedestrian is struck and killed by a car
• 6-9 p.m.:  the hours between which the most pedestrian fatalities occur
• 195 feet:  the average distance it can take a car moving at 45 mph to stop

Have you ever wondered what drivers see when you are out running in the dark? Take a quick peak at a video of what it looks like here.

RUN TO BE SEEN:  KEY FEATURES

• 360-degree reflectivity:  Ensures you will be visible from any direction--front, side, or back
• Multiple reflective points:  Provides sources for light to reflect from at different heights
• Retro-reflectivity:  Reflects light back directly to its source for stronger visibility
• Active LED visibility:  Provides visibility no matter where or what type of light source exists
• Colored LED lights:  Alert drivers as to which direction they are approaching you--from the front (white) or from behind (red)
