Abstract

The general pattern of injury sustained by a sample of 211 pedestrians struck by the front of cars is described. Particular attention is paid to the nature, cause and severity of the pelvis and leg injuries. The effect of bumper height and bumper lead on the location and incidence of fractures caused by the bumper is examined. The potential for improvement in vehicle front structure design is presented.
