Abstract

In frontal collisions with belted cadavers the acceleration of the 6th thoracic vertebrae is measured in two directions. According to the statistical evaluation the influence of age to the injury seriousness of thorax and spine is confirmed. Anthropometrical data as e.g. seat-head distance a thorax size turned out to have the strongest influence to the injury severity.
