Better way is to take them to real accidents and morgues. It's harder to blank out when you can smell what's going on.

Have a simulator that can give some idea of impacts at slower speeds then get them to work it out at more realistic speeds.

Get some onto track and show how easy it is to loose control, especially in the wet/icy/dirt/rough road. Especially in the sort of car they are likely to own/drive.
