Samenvatting
The objectives of the study were to present accident data in a readily understandable form, to concentrate on personal injury-producing accidents, and to determine what kind of additional data are needed to study motor vehicle accidents. Some 40,000 accidents involving Air Force personnel from 1963-1968 served as the data base. Twenty-five findings are presented concerning the roles of time of accident, speed, defective road surfaces, drivers' educational status and attitudes, alcohol, traffic violations, type of vehicle involved, types of injury, cause of fatalities, vehicle defects, injury severity, motorcycle accidents, age factors, seat belts, crash helmets, and ejection.
