Abstract
The paper provides a discussion of the principles involved in reconstructing the impact event experienced by a vehicle occupant during a collision. Because of the complicated mechanical nature of the human body and the vehicle interior, this discipline involves the application of both art and science. Recognized procedures are discussed for collecting and analyzing information and reaching conclusions. Particular attention is given to evidence available from the accident vehicle.
