This is rare case of complete decapitation involving a 20-year-old motorcyclist. The motorcyclist sustained a heavy blow in the region of the neck against the right-side edge of a car compartment which resulted in his complete decapitation. The head of the motorcyclist was 37.5 m away from the car in the direction of the motorcycle movement. The collision speed of the motorcycle was about 133 km/h. Literature survey and the examination of injuries in this case have allowed us to conclude what the decapitation causing mechanism was and the force necessary to have complete decapitation. In our case the basic mechanism for decapitation was the direct trauma in the cervical region. The force needed for the complete decapitation ranges between 400 kgf and 800 kgf (3923 N-7846 N).
这是一例罕见的涉及一名20岁摩托车手的完全斩首案例。该摩托车手颈部区域撞到车厢右侧边缘,遭受重击,导致完全斩首。摩托车手的头部在摩托车行驶方向上距离汽车37.5米。摩托车的碰撞速度约为133公里/小时。文献研究以及对该案例损伤情况的检查,使我们能够推断出斩首的致伤机制以及实现完全斩首所需的力量。在我们这个案例中,斩首的基本机制是颈部区域的直接创伤。完全斩首所需的力量在400千克力至800千克力之间(3923牛至7846牛)。
