Abstract

Rigidly mounted sharp projections from automobile exteriors have been replaced by flexibly mounted rounded structures believed to be less hazardous to unprotected road users. The present report of a fatality from an external rearview mirror indicates the continued potential for harm from a projecting structure in spite of a hinged mounting and rounded shape.
