TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Results of experimental head impacts on cadavers: the various data obtained and their relations to some measured physical parameters JO - Proceedings: Stapp Car Crash Conference A1 - Got, C. A1 - Patel, Manish M. A1 - Fayon, A A1 - Tarriere, C. A1 - Walfisch, G SP - 57 EP - 99 VL - 22 IS - N2 - This report describes the results of 42 tests involving direct impacts on the head, performed on fresh, unembalmed, perfused cadavers, helmeted or not helmeted, by means of a free-fall procedure. Three main kinds of impact were investigated: frontal, temporal-parietal, and frontal-facial. The results yield a typology of lesions (associated with various test conditions) that differs from the one described in earlier, similar reports published by A. M. Nahum and R. L. Stalnaker.
