To illustrate the danger, Inside Edition collaborated with auto safety expert Lauren Fix. They placed a wig on a mannequin under a car hood with the engine running, showing how quickly hair can become ensnared in a fan belt. The wig was immediately pulled in and tangled, just like Abare’s hair.
This incident underscores the dangers long hair poses not only with car engines but also with go-kart engines, farm machinery, and even amusement park rides.
Lauren Fix offers crucial advice for anyone working around vehicles: “Always pull your hair back. If you’re checking for a leak or replacing parts, make sure to secure your hair and remove anything that could get caught. And always turn off the vehicle.”
Here are additional safety tips:
Remove all jewelry, including bracelets and watches, as they can get caught or come into contact with electrical components.
Avoid wearing anything that dangles, such as ties or scarves.
Keep gloves in your car and wear them when working on it.
