Torso and Limb Injuries: As with the rear driver's side, the passenger's body might be hurled forward, resulƟng in potenƟal bruises, fractures, or other injuries.
Other Factors to Consider : Car's Crumple Zones: Modern economy cars have crumple zones designed to absorb and redistribute the impact. However, a 1 MN force is significantly high, so while the car's structure might reduce some impact, the force felt by the occupants would sƟll be considerable. 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.
