New Study finds Women more likely to be Trapped in a Vehicle after a CrashWomen are almost twice as likely as men to be trapped in a vehicle after a traffic collision, according to a new study of UK injury data. The authors say the research, which also looked at the differences in injury patterns by sex, may help vehicle manufacturers, emergency services personnel and road-safety organisations to tailor responses with the aim of more equitable outcomes by targeting equal performance of safety measures and reducing excessive risk to one sex over another.

PRIMUS Dummy with 6-axis Power Cell in the Lumbar SpineIn order to make it possible to experience loads on the spine in the future, we have equipped the PRIMUS biofidelic dummy with a 6-axis force cell from Kistler in the lumbar spine, which measures the forces and moments that act on the lumbar spine. In this way, permanent loads (vibrations, oscillations) can be measured. Due to the lifelike reproduction of the PRIMUS spine, loads in "unnatural" postures (twisted or bent back) can also be determined.
