Abstract

A theoretical analysis of the reaction forces on the human leg driving car-pedestrian lateral impacts is made. The possibility to minimize these forces in the knee by varying the impact level is illustrated. The significance of different bumper levels and types for lower and knee injuries seen in car-pedestrian accidents is discussed.
