Abstract

The frequency and severity of lesions sustained by the occupants of cars impacted laterally depend upon the main following factors: (1) impact localization; (2) intrusion into passengers' compartment; (3) car speed variation; (4) direction of occupant trajectory; and (5) objects contacted by the various body area. 296 lateral impacts are being described here and consequences are drawn for improvement of occupant protection.
