Abstract

Human tolerance to knee, chest and head, impacts based upon skeletal fracture of cadavers is reported. The results are based upon unrestrained cadaver impacts in a normal seated position in simulated frontal force accidents at velocities between 10 and 20 miles per hour and stopping distances of 6 to 8 inches.
