Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom!Today I want to tell you about Jayne Mansfield and the mandate for tractor trailers to be equipped with the rear bumper bar.  Jayne Mansfield was a very iconic American actress, singer, nightclub entertainer, and Playboy Playmate. A sex symbol of the 1950s and early 1960s while under contract at 20th Century Fox, Mansfield was known for her well-publicized personal life and publicity stunts. Her film career was short-lived, but she had several box-office successes and won a Theatre World Award and a Golden Globe Award.  While this is well and good this episode is not about her resume, this will be about her death and how that led to government regulations to have tractor trailers be equipped with a rear bumper bar.  Please remember to rate and review this show on Apple Podcast or Spotify!Resources:https://www.motortrend.com/news/the-story-behind-jayne-mansfield-and-the-mansfield-bar/https://www.autoweek.com/car-life/but-wait-theres-more/a2142281/heres-why-those-extensions-semi-trailers-are-called-mansfield-bars/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_Mansfield#Deathhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-trailer_truck#Underride_guardhttps://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/actress-jayne-mansfield-dies-in-car-crashhttps://jaynemansfield.com/https://www.newspapers.com/image/227822059/?terms=jayne%20mansfield%20suit%20filed&match=1Say what? resource : https://www.npr.org/2023/05/16/1176131967/underwater-florida-professor-breaks-world-recordCredits:Music: "A Sip of Coffee to Relieve Stress" by Katzen TupasLogo Artwork: Strawbeary Studios https://www.youtube.com/@StrawbearyStudios/featuredEpisode was researched, written and edited by ShanoaSocial Media:  https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090200010112                                 https://twitter.com/breakfastmompodEmail: breakfastwithmompodcast@gmail.com

Sat 3-3-18 6PM ET  Call in # 347-826-9170 On 12-12-17 U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) & Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) introduced the Stop Underrides Act, S. 2219 legislation. Then U.S. Representatives Steve Cohen (D-TN) and Mark DeSaulnier (D-CA) introduced the companion bill in the House, H.R. 4622 An ‘underride crash’ is when a car slides under the body of a large truck, such as a semi-trailer, during an accident. When these accidents happen, a car’s safety features are not able to protect passengers because most of the car slides under the trailer, and the truck crashes straight through the windows and into the passengers.  The bill was originally drafted by our guests tonight, Marianne Karth and Lois Durso. Both Marianne and Lois have lost children due to underride crashes. Marianne & husband Jerry lost their 2 daughters, AnnaLeah and Mary in 2013, and Lois lost her daughter Roya in 2004. The bill was originally called the Roya, AnnaLeah and Mary Comprehensive Underride Protection Act of 2017 or the  RAMCUP Act of 2017—now known as STOP Underrides Act.
