“…While not statistically significant, an additional factor that may have an effect on the difference in injury frequencies between pure and multi-vehicle primary rollover crashes is the higher proportion of female occupants in MV Prim crashes (47% vs. 41%, p = 0.35). Padmanaban et al (2005) showed that female gender is associated with higher odds of serious and fatal injury to drivers in rollover crashes, whereas Funk et al (2012a) reported an elevated risk of serious injury but a reduced risk of fatality for female occupants in rollover crashes. Considering all types of crashes, female drivers have been reported to be more likely to sustain serious injury than male drivers in comparable crashes (Bose et al, 2011b).…”

“…Another factor includes the higher mean age of occupants in MV Prim crashes (41 vs. 33 years, p = 0.04). Field data studies have demonstrated that old age is associated with an elevated risk of serious injury and death in rollover crashes (Padmanaban et al, 2005;Funk et al, 2012a), a finding that reflects the overall reduced biomechanical tolerance associated with aging tissues and anatomical structures. While not statistically significant, an additional factor that may have an effect on the difference in injury frequencies between pure and multi-vehicle primary rollover crashes is the higher proportion of female occupants in MV Prim crashes (47% vs. 41%, p = 0.35).…”

“…Only two studies have investigated directly the relationship between peak roof strength and injury outcome for occupants in real-world rollover crashes (Moffatt and Padmanaban, 1995b;Padmanaban et al, 2005). An earlier study by Plastiras et al (1985) also considered this question but did not incorporate measures of peak roof strength and used a severely limited sample of crashes.…”

“…Although more severe roof damage was associated with higher likelihood of injury, they reported that roof strength did not predict the likelihood of severe roof damage. Padmanaban et al (2005) conducted a follow-up study that expanded the vehicle sample but differed in few other respects. The findings were similar.…”

The FMVSS 216 measure of roof strength related strongly to occupant protection in real-world rollover crashes in this study, which restricted analysis to vehicles with reasonably homogeneous driver and usage characteristics and accounted for state variation in injury rates. Further research should determine whether these results generalize to other vehicle types with different drivers and rollover risk. Research should also focus on factors other than roof strength, because even large increases in roof strength would leave many rollover crash deaths unaffected.

“…Intruding surfaces can change the occupant contact location, body shape or stiffness, the contact acceleration, and also the injury level [11]. Researchers have tried to find, but have not found, a relationship between roof crush and head/neck injury [12][13][14][15]. The most significant limitation is the definition of the rollover crash severity.…”

The aims of this study are to investigate the responses of a Hybrid III dummy and a human body model in rollover crashes of an SUV, and to assess the effect of an inflatable tubular structure (ITS) on the unrestrained occupant kinematics in rollover events. A SAEJ2114 rollover test of a 1994 Ford Explorer with an inflatable tubular structure (ITS) is simulated for two front row occupants, and validated in MADYMO. By removing the ITS, the simulation of the Hybrid III dummy occupants without ITS is obtained. By replacing the dummy models with human body models, with and without ITS, two other simulations are also modelled. The kinematics and injury risks of the two occupant models are compared and evaluated. Significant differences exist in the motions, and injury levels of the dummies and human body models with and without ITS. ITS can offer significant protection to the head by cushioning the impact of the head on the roof or side windows, and can mitigate against occupant ejection. The flexibility of the spine and the neck of the human body models significantly affects the kinematics and the severity of the injuries of the occupants modelled, and so would also affect the relevance of the design of countermeasures developed from dummy tests to real-world rollover crashes of human beings.
