If your cases demand photographic evidence, make your pictures
the best they can be with our Obenski Folding Photo Scale. The scale is highly legible
with its use of alternating black and white markings at one-inch increments.
To further distinguish measurements, each alternating one-foot segment is
painted in either white or red. This is likely the most legible photographic
scale available today and will improve the presentability of demonstrative
photographic evidence. Scroll to the bottom of the screen to view this

Riding
a motorcycle has been estimated to be five times as complex as driving an
automobile, and reconstructing an accident can be equally more
difficult. This is the newest, fourth edition
that includes insights from its two newest contributors, Jack Debes, Ph.D. and
Eric Shapiro, A.S.E. related to the biomechanics of a motorcycle accident as
well as new ways of looking at motorcycle steering dynamics. Part I was written by a professional engineer who has reconstructed
nearly 300 motorcycle accidents and safely ridden motorcycles for more
than thirty-five years. Part 2 includes legal analysis by Paul Hill, Esq.
Lastly, this edition includes accident cause factors and identification of
countermeasures, commonly known as "The Hurt Report," on CD-ROM.
This important government study is only now being revisited, but to date this
is the de facto study related to motorcycle accidents.
Motorcycle Accident Reconstruction and Litigation
by Kenneth S. Obenski, P.E., Paul F. Hill, Jack C. Debes, Ph.D. and Eric
Shapiro
This book is not an advanced engineering text. Rather, it is a
practical presentation with traffic accident reconstruction principles presented
in a simple, understandable manner so that the reader will easily retain these
important concepts. The engineering principles involved are introduced at the
elementary level, and in many cases equations used in freshman physics are
derived. The authors believe that the derivations are presented in the simplest
manner possible so that the reader will retain this material.
Forensic Engineering Reconstruction of Accidents
by John Fiske Brown, P.E., Kenneth S. Obenski, P.E., Thomas R.
Osborne, Ph.D.
 
Obenski Folding Photo Scale
For the professional reconstructionist.
This lightweight plastic, folding photo scale has big, bold markings
which are easy to read even on small or blurry copies of photos.
Two-sided in red and white. 12.5" (folded), 48" (extended).
