Low Impact Collisions and Injury
Rene Cailliet, MN 2006
"Simulated impacts have been studied extensively and essentially confirm that a low-speed impact with minimal or no damage to the impacted vehicle can and does cause significant musculoskeletal injury to the driver's or occupant's head and neck." p. 4
"It has been shown that high speeds are not specificaly pertinent in determining the extent of the (whiplash) injuries sustained." p. 32
"Numerous injuries result from vehicular accidents even when the impacts are not very big and there is minimal damage to both vehicles." p. 87
"In many instances, a person experiences whiplash after a vehicle accident that has caused little significant damage to either vehicle." p. 100
