Abstract
In a recent series of experiments, fourteen unembalmed cadavers were subjected to forty-four blunt lateral impacts at velocities of approximately 4.5, 6.7, or 9.4 m/s with a 15 cm flat 23.4 kg pendulum. Chest and abdominal injuries consisted primarily of rib fractures with a few cases of lung or livKeywords
