Abstract

The protection of the passengers of private cars which are struck side-on is a major problem as yet unresolved. The present study uses the results of the free fall of eighteen human subjects. These strike rigid surfaces, or surfaces covered with shock-absorbing materials side-on at the thorax and pelvis.
