• Abstract:
  The geometry of motion of the head, trunk and appendages was established for one hundred male subjects restrained by a safety belt during forward and side dynamic loadings. Lethal structures of present aircraft seating and cockpit arrangements are revealed by correlating crash injuries with these kinematic data. In addition an analysis of the forces created by the body kinematics during forward deceleration sheds new light on seat anchorage problems.
