Abstract

A review of accident data files was undertaken. From these files rear seat occupancy is approximately 10% with children 6 years of age or less being 1 /5th of these. About 50- 60% of those in the rear seats are adults. Most of the injuries are at the lower AIS levels, with adults being more seriously injured. Of the more serious or fatal injuries, the head and face predominate by far, in all types of crashes involving unrestrained rear seat occupants
