Other Factors to Consider: Car's Impact ProtecƟon Systems : Many modern vehicles come equipped with side and rear airbags. If these deploy, they can offer protecƟon, parƟcularly for the rear passenger's side occupant, against head and upper body trauma. Structural Integrity: The rear corner of the car, especially around the wheel well, is designed to absorb and redistribute impact forces. However, a force of 1 MN is considerable, and significant deformaƟon in the rear passenger's area is expected. Child Seats and Booster Seats: If any of the passengers are children, the type and posiƟoning of child restraints would play a criƟcal role in determining injury outcomes. If the passengers are in child seats or booster seats, the types of injuries are higher astronomically because even as strong and as safe as the car seats and booster seats are made today, we are still talking about injuries to a child who still has growth plates that are active, and the damage here is oftentimes damage that cannot be reversed. Secondary Collisions: AŌer the iniƟal angled impact, the vehicle might be subjected to secondary impacts with other vehicles, objects, or even lead to a potenƟal rollover due to the imparted force and angle. Considering the force and angle described, the rear passenger's side occupant would face parƟcularly severe risks, with significant injuries being highly likely. Immediate medical intervenƟon would be necessary for all occupants following such a collision.
