| Driver restraints and dummy kinematics Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. During rebound, the dummy moved toward the driver door, which had bowed outward, and its head hit the window sill. Then the head moved up and hit the roof rail. Plus there was far too much rearward movement of the steering wheel. |
Action shot taken during the frontal offset crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test -- plus footwell intrusion and door sill buckling -- indicate the driver's survival space wasn't maintained well.
Ineffective control of the dummy's movement allowed the head to hit the window sill during rebound.
Extensive intrusion into the driver footwell contributed to high forces on the dummy's left leg and entrapment of both feet.
