Seven cases of injury from an outboard motor propeller are reported and the literature reviewed. The injuries are uncommon, but appear to have a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Wound contamination at the time of injury is discussed. These wounds are best treated by excision of dead tissue and delayed primary suture plus antibiotics, which should include cover against the Vibrionaceae.

Frontal-oblique impact sled tests of a rearward-facing child restraint system with and without a support leg.

Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, PA, United States; Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, United States.
Objective: To quantify the head and neck injury metrics of an anthropometric test device (ATD) in a rearward-facing child restraint system (CRS), with and without a support leg, in frontal-oblique impacts.
Methods: Sled tests using the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 213 frontal crash pulse (48 km/h, 23 g) were performed with a simulated Consumer Reports test buck, which comprised a test bench that mimics the rear outboard vehicle seat of a sport utility vehicle (SUV). The test bench was rigidised to increase durability for repeated testing and the seat springs and cushion were replaced every five tests.
Rear-facing child safety seat effectiveness: evidence from motor vehicle crash data.

Introduction: In 2018, the American Academy of Pediatrics updated their car safety seat (CSS) guidelines to recommend that children ride rear-facing as long as possible, yet evidence from observational studies on rear-facing CSS effectiveness is limited. This study estimated the association between rear-facing CSS use and injuries among children aged 0-4 years who were involved in motor vehicle crashes (MVCs).
Methods: This study analysed data on all MVCs involving children aged 0-4 years reported to the Kansas Department of Transportation from 2011 to 2020.

Objective: Seat belt usage has increased substantially since the 1960s, yet driver use continues to affect passenger usage. Recent observational restraint use findings for Maryland will examine the relationship between driver and passenger usage, including adults and children in the rear seat.
Methods: Analyses were based on observational front and rear seat studies administered in parallel from 2016 to 2019.
Second-row occupant responses with and without intrusion in rear sled and crash tests.

Design Analysis Group, Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan.
Purpose: Intrusion of the occupant compartment increases the risks for severe injury and death. This study analyzes rear sled and crash tests with an instrumented second-row Hybrid III 5 percentile anthropometric test device (ATD) to assess occupant kinematics and biomechanical responses with and without intrusion of the second-row seatback.
Methods: Three sled tests and four crash tests were conducted with a 1993 Ford Taurus and a belted 5 female ATD seated behind a belted 50 male ATD on the right-side of the vehicle.
Comparison of three-point belt fit between humans and Hybrid-III anthropometric test devices in a driver mockup.

The Hybrid-III anthropometric test devices (ATDs) are widely used by the automotive industry to evaluate restraint system performance in standardized vehicle crash tests. The relationship between the belt fit measured for people in driving posture and the belt fit obtained with ATDs has not been reported in the literature. The present study compares lap and shoulder belt fit data from ATDs and to a statistical estimate for drivers using age, stature, and BMI.
