Why do some people suffer worse injury than others in the same car crash?
There are different factors that have some bearing on the risk of injury to an individual. The main ones are human variables such as the height, weight, age, build, the state of health of a person and any history of previous trauma. Where a person is seated within the vehicle and the position of their head and body at the time of the impact will also have an effect on whether a person will suffer injury or not.
