  Planet Sinclair: The Sinclair Industry: Magazines: CRASH
CRASH had the largest circulation of the three major Sinclair magazines (over 100,000 copies a month at its peak) and was the standard guide for the software distribution trade in deciding which games to stock in the shops.
The original concept behind CRASH had been to provide a low-key, low-cost magazine, mostly in monochrome, to attract the numerous software houses who couldn't afford the advertising rates of the existing glossies, so several of the first issues were printed on cheap newsprint with a heavier colour section wrapped around it.
Unfortunately for CRASH, it became the first victim of the cut-throat circulation war which was waged from 1989-92 between it, SU and YS.

 Meet the Crash Test Dummies
Crash test ratings are based on the severity of the "injuries" received by the dummies inside each vehicle.
Although child dummies don't directly impact crash test ratings, they have driven home the point that today's seatbelts are not ideal for a vehicle's youngest occupants, which in turn has led to federal recommendations (and laws in some states) for placing older children in booster seats.
Immediately before a crash test, each dummy has his or her face, head, chin and knees smeared with greasepaint, so researchers can see which parts of the dummy are hit in the crash.
