Biomechanics in Accident Reconstruction Course

This five-day training course on biomechanics and crash injury analysis in accident reconstruction will include training in various topics including:

• Background anatomy and terminology
• Contact, non-contact and contrecoup injuries
• Forensic examination of vehicles
• Newton’s laws applied to vehicle inspection
• Newton’s laws, occupant trajectory and occupant injury
• Calculating and applying Delta V and PDOF to determine seating location
• Case studies including actual collisions
• Injury biomechanics
• Counter-intuitive injury mechanisms
• Matching vehicle damage and injuries
• Rollovers
• Crash reconstruction information from medical and autopsy reports
• Deployable and non-deployable occupant protection systems

The students will receive five full days’ training and their knowledge will be tested at the end of the course. Students will be accredited with their attendance and the course will attract a minimum of 30 hours CPD.
