Case studies of severe frontal collisions involving fully-restrained occupants.

This paper reviews results from the in-depth investigation of a series of fifteen, real-world, motorvehicle collisions. primary criteria for this study were that the case vehicle should have been involved in an impact approximating a 50 km /h, frontal, barrier collision, and that at least one of the vehicle's occupants was fully-restrained. Particular attention is paid to the relationship to full-scale barrier crash tests.
