Although the neck is one of the least frequently injured body regions, it does play a considerable role in the solicitations of the head in side impact. With a view to characterising conditions, i. e. head and neck responses, a research program including sled tests involving cadavers was conducted. The scope of this paper is to present a synthesis of the data obtained from low and high G-level tests, including, in particular, data obtained from new high severity tests.
