Science of Low Speed Collisions in Orem Utah 5

In episode #2 of this series, we noted that researchers have discovered that injury takes place at speeds as low at 2.5 to 5 miles an hour. So if your bumper is damaged at all your collision involved speeds in excess of 15 mph. That’s 3 to 6 times the human threshold for injury. 

In a low-speed collision, the kinetic forces that are transferred from the other vehicle into your vehicle are not dampened or bled off by your bumper. Instead, the force is transmitted through the vehicle, into your seat, and to your spine, resulting in injury.
