Samenvatting
This paper presents data on some aspects of neck injuries which occur to car occupants where the use of lap-shoulder seat belts is over 90%. The data came from in-depth crash investigation studies conducted during 1984, after the passage of the seat belt law in Britain. 15% of the occupants in the sample had a neck injury, but of these only 15% were severe enough to warrant an AIS rating of 1 or greater.
