Abstract

Major causes of death and injury in automobile accidents are occupant ejection and steering assembly, windshield, or instrument panel impacts. Types of injuries produced by these secondary collisions are described. Automobile design improvements to reduce injury potential are mentioned. Injury patterns and injury severity associated with side impact, rear end, and rollover accidents are also briefly discussed.
