abstract="Using cadaveric specimens, sixty-three simulated frontal impacts were performed to examine and quantify the performance of various contemporary automotive restraint systems. To characterize the mechanical responses during the impact, test-specimens were instrumented with accelerometers and chest bands. The resulting thoracic injury severity was determined using detailed autopsy and was classified using the Abbreviated Injury Scale.<p />",
