New full-scale crash simulator was employed in biomechanics research program for establishing quantitative specifications for human tolerance to impact forces; intact, fully articulated human cadavers are used as test subjects; design capacity of facility is 40 mph barrier-type collision; test sled equipped with load cell supported impact targets and carrying seated cadaver subject is accelerated pneumatically, released, and arrested at collision-level decelerations; design and principles of operation of crash simulator.
