Abstract

Unembalmed cadavers restrained with a three point harness were exposed to a deceleration environment of 20, 30 and 40 mph. Injury severities were greater in the cadavers than in living humans at a given collision severity. It is concluded that the cadaver is an excellent means of studying the types of injuries to be expected from a collision environment.
