This illustration shows a car driving
towards a wall. The vehicle occupants are
not belted in.
The physical principle of a frontal crash is
easy to explain.
As soon as the vehicle is moving, so-
called "kinetic energy" is created by the
movement of the vehicle , in the vehicle
itself as well as in the vehicle occupants.
The extent of the "kinetic energy" effect
depends largely on the speed of the vehi-
cle and on the weight of the vehicle and
the vehicle occupants.
The higher the speed and the greater the
weight of the vehicle, the more energy
must be dispersed should an accident
occur.
