Samenvatting
The analysis of accidents in which 110 car occupants were injured, clearly stresses the urgency for action, in order to reduce injury risks, not only as far as the safety belt itself is concerned but also in view of the injury model with safety belt usage. The crucial point for injury severity is the head region, followed by the thorax and the pelvis/abdomen. Typical injuries owing to disfunction are ruptures of the intestines, the liver and spleen, as well as thorax lesions.
