Abstract

This is a report on a patient injured when an interstate bus overturned. The mechanism of injury is detailed and the secondary factors that resulted in the injury are discussed. Ways in which similar injuries could be prevented are put forward. An urgent plea is made for a more rational approach to the use of restraint mechanisms for bus passengers.
