The guy was a pioneer.
I imagine there are a lot of people who lived to race again as a result of his work.
Vaya Con Dios , Bill.

The number of lives he saved through his ideas & products is probably incalculable.
And he sure had balls...

I remember when the Nascar weenies tried to blame him for the Earnhardt death. When they finally checked Dale's car they found out his belts were all expired and he used no head or neck resrtraint devices. Bill Simpson was so distressed over this that he almost quit the safety business. Simpson was totally exonerated and Head restraints became mandatory after this.

Pioneer is right. Two companies at the top of the food chain were started by him.
