Abstract

This article, part of a recently completed research project on safety belts, presents results on neck injuries. A total of 3927 injured front seat occupants (drivers and passengers) involved in two- car crashes were considered. Among them, 725 sustained a neck sprain, some of them may have sustained other injuries as well. The more serious injuries to the cervical spine were more prevalent among the unbelted occupants.
