Frequently Asked Questions
What factors make a crash more likely to be fatal?
Speed, the angle of impact, and whether occupants were wearing seat belts all play a major role in whether a crash turns deadly. Crashes involving multiple vehicles or high-speed roads tend to carry higher risk.
How does speed affect crash survivability?
Higher speeds increase the force of impact, giving vehicle structures and occupants less protection. Even modest increases in speed can sharply raise the chance of serious or fatal injury.
Why does seat belt use matter so much?
Seat belts keep occupants from being thrown from their seats or ejected during a collision, which greatly improves the odds of survival in a serious crash.
