N2  - In recent years, handle type electric powered wheelchairs become important transportation of persons with disability and elder persons. However, there are few study about behaviors of wheelchair's users in accidents. Therefore, we performed collision experiment of a wheelchair and a passenger car. The experiment revealed that a contact with road surface is a severer injury causation for wheelchair user than a contact with vehicle bonnet.<p />  <p>Language: ja</p>
