Abstract

The paper reviews 58 simulated 90 degrees car /car side impacts with post mortem human subjects (PMHS).The colli- sion velocity amounted 40, 45, 50 and 60 km /h, the situation of the belted near- side passenger was simulated. PMHS in the age range of 19 to 65 years were used. Only in 8 of the 58 conducted tests no rib fractures occurred. In the remaining 50 tests 1 up to 30 rib fractures were observed. The number of rib fractures is on one hand depending of the age of the PMHS, on the other hand of the impact severity.
