The mechanisms and severity of nonfatal injuries to children in crash and noncrash situations were compared: 82 children (15%) were involved in noncrash events and 466 (85%) were involved in crash events. Younger children (0 to 4 years of age) were more likely to be injured in a noncrash incident. The mechanism of injury was significantly different; 45% of the children injured in a noncrash event were ejected in contrast to 5% of the children injured in a crash event. Although more severe injuries were sustained in crashes, most of the children who were ejected in a noncrash event sustained at least moderate injuries. Use of restraint systems, door lock mechanisms, and appropriate passenger seating locations in the motor vehicle are three simple measures that could attenuate or eliminate noncrash injury.
82名儿童（15%）遭遇非碰撞事件，466名儿童（85%）遭遇碰撞事件。年龄较小的儿童（0至4岁）在非碰撞事件中更易受伤。受伤机制显著不同；非碰撞事件中受伤的儿童有45%被抛出车外，而碰撞事件中受伤的儿童这一比例为5%。尽管碰撞中会遭受更严重的伤害，但在非碰撞事件中被抛出车外的大多数儿童至少受到中度伤害。使用约束系统、门锁机制以及在机动车中选择合适的乘客座位位置是三项可减轻或消除非碰撞伤害的简单措施。
