The project aimed to determine the influence of various vehicle systems in preventing (or not preventing) occupant ejection from passenger cars. Accident data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatal Accident Reporting System and from the National Crash Severity Study (NCSS) were examined. In addition, a special analysis was completed for a subset of the NCSS data in which only one of two front-seat occupants was ejected. The reduction in ejection rate associated with the advent of improved door latches and glazing components appears to have levelled off. In the mix of cars of varied size, there are complex interactions of factors associated with ejection. While smaller cars generally have higher ejection rates, these are largely explained by a higher propensity to rollover and by the predominance of young drivers in these cars.
