abstract="Some studies were made to compare sled tests with real accident investigations, Patrick et al. (1978) had selected 128 accidents with 169 occupants at a barrier equivalent velocity (BEV) of 2 to 53 mph in the 11 to 1 o'clock direction and has compared these with labor dummy data; Seirra 1050 and Alderson dummies were used in this study. Traffic accident analyses and sled testing with instrumented cadavers follow up different aims. Traffic accident data supply information about the injury risk by correct use/misuse of restraint systems. Sled cadaver testing contributes to investigate the injury pattern and to determine correlations between mechanical responses and injury severity to define occupant protection criteria under well documented controlled laboratory crash conditions.<p />",
