An analysis of maximum vehicle G forces and brain injury in motorsports crashes
Article Abstract:
Traumatic brain injury from automobile crashes is a major source of trauma deaths and the investigation of crashes to understand factors of occupant injuries is an established practice and the association between vehicle G forces (G) sustained on impact and brain injury in motor sports crashes is evaluated. The findings reveal that Indy Racing League car crashes with peak vehicle G greater than equal to 50 are associated with the development of traumatic brain injuries.
