| Occupant Kinematic Accident Reconstruction Expert |
Providing Quality Accident Reconstruction and Investigation
| 26% of all drivers have been involved in a car accident in the past 5 years. - car-accident-advice.com |
| Occupant kinematics, as it pertains to accident reconstruction, is aimed at explaining the motion of occupants inside a vehicle during a crash. Accident reconstruction experts utilize Newtonian laws of motion to explain the paths that vehicle occupants follow and the method in which they react to external forces. |
| Imagine the following scenario: Two vehicles collide at an intersection. The driver of Unit #2 is wearing his seatbelt, while the driver of Unit #1 is not. As Unit #1 and Unit #2 make first contact, Unit #1 and its driver share the same directional heading and speed. Likewise, Unit #2 and its driver share a common heading and speed. |
As the collision continues, the directional heading and speed of Unit
#1 and Unit #2 are drastically altered. The driver of Unit #2 is held in
his seat by his seatbelt.
The driver of Unit #1, however, is unbelted. When the vehicles
redirect, the driver of Unit #1 has nothing to secure him in his seat.
His body continues in the direction and speed that it exhibited prior
to the crash.
The driver of Unit #1, despite having started in the driver seat,
strikes the passenger side windshield and dash, causing serious
personal injury.
