Abstract

Several types of energy absorbers were test on a sled simulating a crash deceleration using instrumented, seated erect dummies and cadavers. Head accelerations were significantly reduced but spinal strains in the cadaver not. They appear to be not only a function of the peak deceleration level but also of the duration of the pulse.
