Table 8

Impact response and injuries of the pelvis under different impact velocities.

Impactor velocity (m/s)	Max energy (J)	Peak force (N)	Max compression (%)	Fractures
3.3	45.52	2003	20.82	None
5	82.32	3360	31.88	L. sacral ala, post-iliac crest, sacral ala, and inf/sup rami.
				R. inf/sup rami, inf rami, and pubis.

L: left side; R: right side; inf/sup: inferior and superior.
