Rock2Climb is a division of
Safe Moves. a non-profit
organization,
recognized as the leading authority in
traffic safety
education
in the country.
Safe Moves
has been credited with saving
thousands of
children's
lives through their innovative safety
programs.
Safe Moves
has been featured on The Today Show,
Good
Morning America,
20/20, Dateline and Oprah
as well as in
the
Los Angeles Times, The New York
Times, Newsweek, Time
Magazine and Sports
Illustrated.
With a grant provided by
the California Office of
Traffic Safety,
Safe Moves is conducting
Wear
It For Life
programs to
promote seat belt usage
among teens.
Safe Moves and
the
Wear It For
Life
program offers students an
opportunity to
learn about the importance
of seat belts in
a most unique way.
With the supervision of professional staff, students
have the
opportunity to climb a 24-foot rock wall
with a safety
harness. The rock wall is designed
to demonstrate the
importance of
seat belt use.
Our instructors explain to
the students that a
fall
from the top of the rock climbing
wall would have
the same
impact on their bodies as a
30-mile per
hour car crash without the
restraint of a
seatbelt.
The children and teens are quick to
get the
message that seat belts save lives.
Safe Moves has
also used
the
Rock2Climb
rock
climbing
wall with
deaf, blind and
other challenged
students,
with
fantastic results,
establishing their
'contact with reality'
and fortifying
their independence
and self reliance.
