Samenvatting
Vehicle and injury data from 919 accidents in the UK are analysed for frequency, cause, and consequences of occupant ejection. The rear window was found in this sample to be the most frequent ejection route, followed by side doors, side glass, and the tailgate. These results are considered in relation to possible countermeasures, of which restraint use is shown to be by far the most effective, and bonded laminated or glass-plastic glazing is particularly recommended for rear windows.
