This report gives the results of a comprehensive and systematic study of twenty severe automobile collisions which occurred in Atlanta, Georgia during a seven month period. The research was a broadbased team effort which involved the participation of a civil engineer, neurological surgeon, automotive technician, psychologist, safety engineer, pathologist, and medical secretary. The research included an epidemiological study of factors leading to the initiation of accidents as well as a study of the 'second collision' to establish the kinematics of the occupants and to identify the agent(s) which caused the injuries and deaths.
