title: [Assessment of the influence of the car driver's posture on the mechanism of injuries].
abstract: The objective of the present study was to experimentally simulate inertial displacement of body parts of a car driver in case of emergency break application. It was shown that the displacement patterns were significantly different in the drivers of "sedan", "jeep", and "minivan" car models. The different directions of centre of mass displacement account for the driver's contact with different structures of the passenger compartment. Hence, the different character of the resulting injuries.
