E. TTHE MICHIGAN DAILY S Ui JNDAY, MAY 13, 1962 AUTO ACCIDENT STUDY: Measure Human Endurance By MICHAEL JULIAR A study to determine the tol- erance of the human body to dif- ferent types of forces in auto- mobile. accidents is now being con- ducted by a University doctor and three associates from Wayne State University. Working with the Ford Motor Company, Prof. F. Gaynor Evans of the department of anatomy, Dr. E. S. Gurdjian of Wayne State's neurology department, Prof. Gerbert A. Lissner and Prof. Lawrence Patrick, chairman and member respectively of Wayne State's engineering mechanics de- partment are gathering data on how much force the human body can stand. "All physical injuries result from absorption of energy," Evans says. "The magnitude of the energy and the time in which it is- absorbed are equally important. Foam Rubber Not Good He notes that the longer the' period of energy absorption, the more energy that can be toleratedr without injury. Also, what the body hits is important. ' The material the object is made of and its shape determine the in-1 jury the individual will receive, Evans says. "Contrary to popularl belief, foam rubber is not a good1 material to hit because you re-7 bound from it too easily and not enough energy is absorbed." 1 "The human scalp, because of its hair and soft tissue, is a veryF good energy absorber," He points out. Evans strongly favors the use of seat belts. He gave one vivid example of an automobile pas- senger who died when ejected froml a slow moving car that had skid- ded onto the road's shoulder. "If that person had worn a seat-t belt, he probably wouldn't have# been killed," he declares. Evans says that the best typeE of seat belt is one that is rapped around the waist with an ad-z ditional one across the chest. Need Public Education He felt that it is "a matter oft public education" to get people to use seat belts. Since most acci- dents happen at a speed less thant 45 miles-per-hour, seat belts can do much in preventing injury, he says.s "They are used most often, by1 people that own them, on long Cite Quality Of Medicine In England "The quality and adequacy of medical care have improved un- der the British Health Program," Prof. Almont Lindsey of the Uni- versity of Virginia said Friday at a conference on the Economics of Health Care. "The physician in Britain is far more effective clinically because he can minister to all patients, irrespective of their economic stat- us, and he can give them whatever treatment is required," Lindsey said. Pointing to the high salaries presently earned by medical doc- tors, Prof. W. Lee Hansen of the University of Chicago economics department called federal aid to medical students unnecessary. "The levels of income received by physicians more than compen- sate" for the rising costs of medi- cal and pre-medical training, Prof. Hansen said. "Federal subsidies to medical students will only make medicine an even more profitable career than it already is," he added. Bird's Eye View of Campus CRASH - Automobile accidents place great strains on the human body. Scientists can determine the limits of body tolerance. trips, but many accidents happen on the way to the corner drug store, for example," he notes. Most people hurt in automobile accidents are those next to the driver. "Apparently, the driver has something to grab onto, and the steering wheel cages him in to some effect. But his companion doesn't have anythnig to grab onto," Evans says. Mandatory Seat Belts Automobile companies have im- proved their cars with better brakes, lights and locks, he notes. But he would like to see some- thing don'e about making seat belts mandatory on all cars. Wis- consin is the only state with such a law. Two other faculty members are also working in the same basic area. Prof. Donald F. Huelke of the anatomy department and Dr.- Paul W. Gikas of the pathology de- partment are seeking detailed in- formation on the causes of death in automobile accidents and por- tions of the vehicles which deliver- ed the fatal impacts. Working in cooperation with law enforcement agencies they will be on call day and night to make im- medicate examination of any auto accident involving an on-the- scene fatality in Washtenaw County highways. Studies Misleading During the past eight months, the researchers have studied some. 20 fatal accidents. "We have found that some junk- yard studies have proved mis- leading," Prof. Huelke says. "Often the car has had addi- tional damage during transport away from the accident scene. This has given us a number of false clues and has sometimes con- cealed the true death-dealing in- struments," he continues. The investigators believe first- hand observations and judgments, made before the victim and his vehicle are moved, will yield more accurate data on the causes of death.
