Highway Safety: Causes of Injury in Automobile Crashes

Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date May 9, 1995
Report No. PEMD-95-4
Subject
Summary:

Not surprisingly, the speed upon impact and crash types are the most important factors in the risk of injury to drivers. Driver age and safety belt use are also important, although automobile weight and driver gender have less influence. Safety belts greatly reduce injury risk, but their effectiveness is not the same in all crashes; they are more effective in single-car crashes than in multivehicle collisions. Air bags reduce injury risk in frontal impacts, but air bags alone are less effective than safety belts alone. In equivalent car crashes, women drivers and older drivers are more likely to be harmed than men and younger drivers. GAO found that safety belts are less effective overall for women drivers than for men drivers.
