How Ejection and Child Involvement Increase Crash Severity
Ejections in vehicle crashes often result in more serious injuries because occupants are not protected by the vehicle structure. Being thrown from a vehicle can expose a person to direct impact with the roadway or surrounding objects.
When children are involved in crashes, emergency response priorities often include rapid assessment and transport due to their increased vulnerability. Proper restraints are especially important in reducing injury risk.
Two-vehicle collisions can become more complex when multiple patients require care at the same time. This can lead to additional rescue resources being sent to the scene.
