Whiplash injuries
- More than 60% of the costs of all injuries
leading to permanent medical impairment
for the insurance companies
- Europe: 800 000 injuries annually, 40 000
result in long term suffering
- Costs: > € 10 billion in Europe

Whiplash Injuries
Most common in rear impacts
Low severity crashes, less than 20 km/h
Based on Krafft (1998)

Conclusions
• Injury statistics: Different seat concepts provide different
protection for the males and females.
• A need for an extended test matrix with models of both parts
of the adult population.
• The inclusion of an average female dummy model in the
test procedure would provide the opportunity to assess the
injury protection performances for both male and female
occupants.
