Abstract

Investigations of passenger car crashes involving the deal of wearers of lap belts have led to the conclusion that head impact with a rigid part of the occupied car is responsible for more deaths than any other impact. Three current model cars are tested for availability of head space which is found to be inadequate, especially in front corner impacts.
