Abstract

The first results of a medical and technical multi-purpose survey on 87 "car-pedestrian" accidents are stated. The configurations of the "car-pedestrian" collisions are examined, and the influence of collision speed and age on the seriousness of the injuries whether taken as a whole or per body area is looked into. The second phase consists in analyzing what causes injuries (ground or vehicle). Special attention is paid to "head-vehicle" impacts.
