Crashworthiness
Passenger vehicles are sold to the public as complete units ready for use. Before this point, however, several individual component parts of the vehicle are designed, manufactured and then integrated into the vehicle to form an end product. Some of these parts are created by the vehicle manufacturers themselves, while other components, like tires, seat belts and airbags are designed and manufactured by third parties and then added to the vehicle. If one of these component parts fails, it can cause or contribute to the vehicle rolling over, and / or make the injuries from the accident more severe.
The “crashworthiness” of a vehicle is a measure of the protection the vehicle provides to its driver and its passengers during an accident or collision. Auto manufacturers have a duty to build and design vehicles that can sustain foreseeable types of accidents and protect the driver and passengers from unnecessary harm.
Crashworthiness refers to the adequacy of certain vehicle design and safety elements such as air bags, seat belts, roofs, crumple zones, side impact protection, head rests, interior padding and roll bars. These safety features are meant to protect occupants in a crash by preventing or delaying their impact with other solid objects, reducing the damaging effect of the inertial forces that accompany an accident, preventing occupant ejection, reducing the risk of fires, etc. All too often, however, vehicle manufacturers choose to sacrifice crashworthiness in favor of other design and performance features, or simply to maximize their profits.
