Abstract

Head injuries are considered a significant safety problem for vehicle occupants involved in vehicle crashes. A scientific study of the occupant head injury problem shows that skull fractures are a good indicator of severe brain injury for certain types of head impact. In many cases, skull fractures are directly or partly associated with severe and fatal brain injuries.
