SOME ISSUES OF THE BIOMECHANICS WHEN A PERSON FALLS OUT FROM THE BODY OF A MOVING CAR
We have analyzed the fatal cases of the victims falling out of the body of a moving car in the conditions of the sharp turn or emergency braking. Biomechanical aspects of this type of transportation injury were studied. An equality was established that defines the conditions necessary for maintaining the balance of the human in the car body during a sharp turn of the car. Also we propose an equation for determining the amount of energy released during the collision of the human with the road surface after the falling out of a car on a curved or straight section of the road.
