The assessment of the hazard to a crewmember in a potential aircraft crash requires information about human tolerance to mechanical forces, a method for the identification and evaluation of the contributing factors to potential injury in a crash and a means of estimating the environmental forces on an occupant and the resultant responses of the occupant. Results or research in the U.S. Air Force in these three areas are discussed. Specifically, the rationale for and formulation of a dynamic response six degree-of-freedom whole body impact tolerance specification, a detailed head-spine structural mechanics and a vehicle occupant gross motion rigid body dynamics model and their areas of applicability in crash analysis; and features of the developed U.S. Air Force Advanced Dynamic Anthropomorphic Manikin (ADAM) are discussed. It is suggested that a comprehensive method for injury risk assessment for any system must consider all three areas.
