Abstract
A study was conducted using the Motors Insurance Corporation (MIC) field accident data file to define the statistical distribution of injured automobile occupant standing height and body mass, in an effort to develop a rational basis for the sizing of human surrogates. Injury was defined as an Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) number of at least 1. Results based on 12.445 injured occupants in accident cases occurring between 1972 and 1974 indicate that the adult males have the highest incidence of injury.
