"The severity of injuries following the accident depends on complex interactions between biomechanical factors, including impact velocity, the use of safety belts and air bags, vehicles, vehicle weight and type of collision. In the past, the impact of body weight on the consequences of collisions has not been specifically evaluated, "researchers Dietrich Jehle said.
