Correlation between Exposure to Bomechanical Stress and Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD) by William HM Castro

“…This study also showed that from a biomechanical point of view, a bumper car collision is comparable to a normal car collision. In the case of a rear-end collision, Meyer et al. found that the biomechanical stress acting on persons exposed to bumper car collisions (Dv) at a fun fair in Germany can be as high as 15 km/h. …”
