Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare systematically the responses of human cadaver and of two different types of dummies, subjected to the same impact. In this purpose, 12 tests were performed at 4 different speeds. Tests shown that an impact did not cause any injury on cadavers during test made at 24 km/h, meanwhile fastest test (48 km/h) always induces mortal or very severe lesions.
