Abstract
This study on overturning accidents has enabled to determine the mechanism of injuries in that type of shock. The overall severity of overturning accidents is closely associated with the ejection of occupants, this ejection multiplying by 6 the risk to be killed in overturning. The occupant involved in an overturning has, on the whole, more cranial lesions, rachis lesions, thoracic lesions and also of the upper limbs.
