Maximilian Danner
Maximilian Danner (born November 29, 1930 in Haselbach ; † June 10, 1997 in Munich ) was a German accident researcher .
Life
In 1971, Danner founded the Institute for Automotive Technology in the Allianz Center for Technology . He published on the subject of road safety and appeared as an expert on radio and television. From the mid-1970s he had a teaching position at the Technical University of Munich . On January 1, 1993, he went into early retirement.
Danner was one of the strongest proponents of seat belts and the requirement to wear seat belts. To calculate the loss of use in the event of vehicle damage, he created a table (the so-called Sanden / Danner / Küppersbusch table), which is still maintained today and used as a basis for the damage calculation.
Danner was also active as an expert in court, B. in the process of Otto Wiesheu's fatal drunk driving . When Danner himself caused an accident in December 1990, seriously drunk (2.3 per mille), this damaged his reputation as a road safety expert.
His son Christian (* 1958) is a racing driver and former Formula 1 driver.
