Abstract

Facial injuries remain an important problem for restrained drivers involved in frontal accidents. This paper analyses the data available from impact biomechanics literature dealing with human tolerance to facial injuries, compares the results of a new series of cadaver facial tests with the proposed limits for the tolerance, and proposes tolerance values for other facial impact locations. The last part deals with the methods for facial injury protection assessment.
