Injury Prevention
Our goal is to reduce the risk of injury
“If a disease were killing our children at the rate unintentional injuries are, the public would be outraged and demand that this killer be stopped.”
C. Everett Koop, M.D., Sc.D., former US Surgeon General

•Parents should be a role model: Kids will do what adults do
•Children depend on adults for protection in and around vehicles▪Buckle up▪Drive responsibly

Fatalities ...
•Are just the tip of the iceberg
•Many more injuries occur than deaths every year
•Some injuries have life-long effects and can be very costly

What Are the Challenges to Crash Survival?
Restraint use decreases as children get older

Activity 1: How Do You Prevent an Injury From Becoming More Serious •There are factors that can be taken into account before, during, and after a crash to minimize or prevent injuries from occurring.
•Examples▪Road conditions—Before the crash▪Seat belt use—During the crash▪EMS Response Time—After the crash

Activity 2: Newton’s Law of Motion•An object in motion
continues in motion at the original speed until it connects with an outside force.
•The outside force…▪Can be harmful (e.g., the
steering wheel, windshield, pavement, etc.)
▪Can be designed to protect (e.g., seat belt or CRS) Courtesy Insurance Institute for Highway Safety

Non-Collisions and Other Events•Non-collisions = spins, skids, swerves, emergency braking
•Common causes of occupant injuries:▪Thrown out of windows or doors▪Collided with other occupants▪Struck vehicle interior

Five Ways Restraints Prevent Injury
1. Keep people in the vehicle2. Contact the strongest parts of the body3. Spread forces over a wide area of the body4. Help the body to slow down5. Protect the brain and spinal cord

You Can’t Survive Every Crash
•Some crashes are so violent that even properly restrained occupants are injured or killed
•Many factors determine injury outcome (size, weight, and speed)
•Seat belts and air bags or a CR = The Best Chance of Survival
