In continued response to the rollover situation in the United States and parameters identified in subsequent research, more information is available regarding: -rollover population selection; -crash configuration and its influences on occupant outcome; -application of societal costs to injuries sustained by restrained unejected occupants (occupants retained completely within the occupant compartment exclusive of partial or full ejections) in rollover crashes; and -association of prevalent crash modes and injury characteristics for restrained unejected occupants. This document will: -justify the selection of belted unejected occupants; -discuss societal implications of injuries sustained by this group; and -identify injury mechanisms and associated crash parameters.
