Abstract

157 Car crashes were investigated and analyzed. Data analysis indicates injuries are sustained by direct occupant-to occupant contact and by one occupant forcing another into or against one or more interior car structures. All body areas can be involved in this injury mechanism, with the upper portion of the body more susceptible to injury. Case histories from field accident investigations document a variety of these injury mechanisms.
