Data on 2520 occupants of cars involved in accidents were analysed in relation to injury and the severity of the crash to investigate the effect of rear seat passengers on injury to restrained and unrestrained front seat occupants and vice versa. Unrestrained front seat occupants showed a higher incidence of serious injury when there were rear seat passengers. The presence of a rear seat passenger did not affect significantly the overall incidence of injury among restrained front seat occupants within the range of crash severity considered. Unrestrained rear seat passengers behind unrestrained front seat occupants showed a higher incidence of moderate injury and a lower incidence of no injury than those behind restrained front seat occupants. It is concluded that legislation on seat belts has not greatly increased the risk of person to person injury.
对2520名涉及事故车辆的驾乘人员数据进行了分析,分析内容涉及损伤情况以及碰撞的严重程度,以调查后排乘客对系安全带和未系安全带的前排驾乘人员受伤情况的影响,反之亦然。当有后排乘客时,未系安全带的前排驾乘人员严重受伤的发生率更高。在所考虑的碰撞严重程度范围内,后排乘客的存在对系安全带的前排驾乘人员的总体受伤发生率没有显著影响。与坐在系安全带的前排驾乘人员后方的后排乘客相比,坐在未系安全带的前排驾乘人员后方的未系安全带后排乘客中度受伤的发生率更高,未受伤的发生率更低。得出的结论是,安全带立法并没有大幅增加人与人之间受伤的风险。
