Abstract

This paper documents seven car /car lateral collisions with belted farside rear seat occupants. The test subjects - cadavers and US SIDs - were restrained with a 3- point belt which had an inboard upper anchoring point for the shoulder belt. The collision velocity was 50 km /h. The calculated values of the angular velocities and angular acceleration are in agreement with the observed minor injuries in the neck region.
