2nd Place Winner Ryan Massey

When I first heard about the Bridgestone Firestone Safety Scholars video contest, I felt compelled to share the story of my survival from a tragic car accident.

My video addresses seatbelt safety because a seatbelt saved my life. By using actual photos of myself taken days after the accident, I hope I can make an impact on others and help prevent needless deaths. I also felt that by re-enacting the night’s events, teen viewers could better relate to my experience.

As a new student at Chapman University in Orange, California, my goals’ focus is to learn more about the entertainment industry. I hope to one day make a living as an actor exploring different aspects of film, television and Broadway.
