Abstract

Injury reduction for automobile accidents through vehicle safety design is a long-sought goal which is now beginning to reduce the daily toll of highways. The highway death toll in the U.S.A. decreased in 1969 with 1.2%. Most authorities believe that improved vehicle safety design is in part responsible. Case studies have described injury mechanisms of not frequently seen accident injuries. The frequency of such injuries is not determined here but the severity and long term disability resulting from these injuries makes injury control justifiable objective.
