Impact Acceleration Measurement and Injury Assessment
Pensacola, FL
Background:Injuries sustained in aviation mishaps are often the result of impact under high acceleration. Knowledge of the type, magnitude, and direction of impact acceleration experienced by the mishap aircrew could permit more timely and effective diagnosis and treatment by medical personnel than would be possible without this information. Small and lightweight acceleration sensors are now available which could be worn in conjunction with flight and/or survival gear to record impact acceleration data in the event of a mishap.
