During the period June 1971 to June 1973, the injuries of 34,378 persons involved in accidents attended by ambulance officers, and treated by hospitals, together with the injuries received by 1,699 victims investigated by coroners, were analysed. Clear-out injury patterns emerged for different types of road users. Pedestrians in general suffered injuries of greater severity than cyclists, who in turn had injuries of greater severity than vehicle occupants. The extent to which car occupant injury patterns are modified by seat belts is demonstrated. Injuries suffered by the wearers of seat belts occur less frequently, and are less severe, less likely to prove fatal, and less likely to cause long stays in hospitals.
在1971年6月至1973年6月期间，对34378名事故伤者进行了分析，这些伤者由救护人员送往医院救治，同时还分析了验尸官调查的1699名受害者所受的伤害。不同类型道路使用者呈现出明显的受伤模式。一般来说，行人所受伤害比骑自行车的人更严重，而骑自行车的人所受伤害又比车内乘客更严重。研究表明了安全带对车内乘客受伤模式的改变程度。系安全带者受伤的频率较低，伤势较轻，致命可能性较小，住院时间也较短。
