Pilot And Crash Dynamics
A pilot needs some understanding of the mechanics of crash injuries if he is to make the wisest decision in a forced landing situation that looks grim at best. The following discussion is intended to give this understanding, without getting involved in the medical and engineering aspects of the subject.
Crash injuries, like aircraft damage, are the result of the violence generated by sudden stoppage and fall into two broad categories.
Contact injuries, resulting from forceful contact between occupants and environmental structures. This is the most common form of injury during forward decelerations, when the occupants do not use an adequate restraint system (seat belt and shoulder harness). Injuries caused by loose objects in the cockpit/cabin area also fall into this category.
Decelerative injuries. Although all contact injuries involve a deceleration process, the term decelerative injuries is generally used to indicate bodily damage resulting solely from loads directly......
