Simulation-based assessment of injury risk for an average male motorsport driver.

CONCLUSIONS: Beyond injury risk, the study is the first of its kind to provide mechanical loading values likely experienced during motorsports crash incidents with crash pulses developed from real-world data. Given the severity of the crash pulses, the simulated environments reinforce the need for the robust safety environment implemented by NASCAR. PMID: 32856956 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
