Abstract

Results are presented of a co-operative crash injury study on neck injuries in Great Britain. It is shown that although the risk of sustaining soft tissue neck injury is greatly increased in rear impact, over 50% of the injuries are in fact occurring in frontal impacts with a further 25% occurring in side impacts. Overall, the data show a clear value in conducting future work in engineering circles with regard to vehicle design.
