As it turns out, there are everyday decisions that we make that could be more life-threatening than we realize. Natalie is currently in the process of finishing her ultrasound clinicals and the warning that she is offering about claw clips comes directly from a doctor. The message is simple: no claw clips when you’re riding in a car.

“They’ve seen girls who’ve gotten in car accidents with the clips impaled into their skull,” she explains. “It can be really fatal and really scary.”

Natalie also realizes that women will need a different solution if they are going to be swearing off the claw clips and that’s why she has provided a follow-up video.

The follow-up clip definitely resonated with viewers, as well. It has received a sizable number of views and people are thankful for the assistance.
