Abstract

The biomechanical and lesional aspect in traffic accidents depends on the physical phenomena triggered by collision, the aggressional factors aching on the human being as a complex of mechanical and kinetical order. In spite of the fact that usually pedestrians show up as polytraumatized (65% of the 500 cases studied) the severity of their lesions is conferred by the cranio-cerebral trauma which in this way becomes the most frequent cause of death.
