Abstract

Head- neck injuries occur frequently in pedestrian and occupant automotive accidents even at relatively low speeds. This paper describes the results of laboratory impact experiments using human cadavers in pedestrian /vehicle impacts and lateral- to- medial head impacts at well- known, controlled speeds. Cerebral trauma, with and without skull fracture, is discussed as a function of impact configuration and velocity.
