Our local pre-prom, trauma prevention talks have found that high school students don't respond as well to the gory photos of what 'might happen'. They are much more affected by photos of kids who died in accidents doing normal kid stuff. The snapshots of victims playing with their dog, or standing next to the new car. Those photos allow the students to relate to these kids as human, normal and just like them. The fact that they are dead due to some stupid accident or error in judgement is more effective than a billion photos of crumpled cars or bloody MVA scenes.

Unless it's put in context, it doesn't really make a connection.

When I was in school, there was an ETOH high-speed MVA where a high school student (driver) died, and the 9th grade junior high girlfriend lived. 2 years later, the responding EMT's and Paramedics came in to discuss what they experienced. There was a slide show of the student, including him and his girlfriend together, the (then) new Acura he drove. His surviving girlfriend spoke. The surviving family spoke. OH GOD that still brings tears to my eyes.

Granted, that's a special situation, but even a personal story, or having a student relay a personal story can be very moving.
 
Hey guys, I completely understand what you're saying.

I was involved in an accident in July where a girl from my high school died...she hit me head on and wasnt wearing her seatbelt...that's how this whole thing started.

I suppose I should've clarified this earlier. My presentation is a lot more than just a bunch of gory pictures. Its me, explaining step by step what happened to ME and how its effected not only my own life but hundreds of people.

I also share a story a girl asked me to read to students. She was dating a boy who died not far from my home town in a careless accident.

I've had students cry during my presentation...and sometimes I even break down a bit. One girl actually found the need in her heart to come up to me and hug me afterwards. I'm getting to them.

As far as emotional power goes, trust me, I've got it covered.
 
How about:
Give a click
Make the click
Strap yourself in, it could be the (last) ride of your life
Don't be a prick, make the click
Make the click if you give a lick
Life could be quick if you don't make the click
Click it or kick it
Buckle with a chuckle
Always use protection (ok maybe not)
 
"Make the click." I like that one.
My mom enjoyed "Don't be a prick, make the click." lol
