N2  - Presented in this study are results from x-ray analysis of live human/neck motion in sled test simulations of low-speed frontal, lateral, and rear-end vehicle impacts. The methodology used may provide insight into the mechanism of neck injuries caused by the head inertia loading. The experimental results suggest that the most significant factor of the head/neck response is the initial curvature of the cervical and thoracic spine.<p />
