The injuries caused by the dynamics of the accident are mainly determined by the mass ratio of the impacting partner, the contours of the impacting car and the anatomy and current posture of the pedestrian. As sudden death from natural causes may occur at any time and in connection with any occasion or any of someone's daily tasks, then it is to be expected that, on occasion, sudden death will occur whilst a person is in charge of transportation. The automobile may also constitute a special enticement to the aggressive and vengeful feelings present in many would‐be suicides. Today, single or multiple railway‐related deaths occur throughout the world, for example 853 fatalities occurred in 2018 across the European Union. Local arrangements may exist to enable pathologists with specific aviation expertise to conduct these examinations, but in many instances the pathologist tasked with completing the autopsy will have no prior specialist aviation knowledge.
