Abstract

In the development of injury scales one principally has to distinguish between criteria of energy dissipation and life threatening. Both can not be agreed upon in one scale degree. The age factor influences both the energetically injury tolerance and the prognosis. Therefore when neglecting the age one has to reckon with faults. The influence of age is shown in tests with 212 belt protected cadavers.
