Neck injuries and a fracture of the pelvis also would be possible. In addition, loading to the shoulder was excessive. The seat belt unlatched late in the crash after the maximum injury measures occurred, but seat belts should never become unbuckled. Rear passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that rib fractures plus a left ...
