Convention keynote speaker knows ‘safety isn’t optional’

Read about Chad Hymas’ ‘mistake’ in Roadway Safety magazine

Chad Hymas suffered a debilitating injury in 2001 that could have left him bemoaning the farm accident that left him paralyzed from the chest down.

Instead, he became a safety advocate and today travels the world delivering inspirational messages. He is also the youngest person to earn induction into the National Speakers Association (NSA) Hall of Fame, achieving that in 2011 at age 37.

Hear from Hymas about the impact of his accident on his life and family at ATSSA’s 2026 Convention & Traffic Expo in Houston and get a glimpse of his story in the latest issue of Roadway Safety magazine, online now.
