CORRECTED FINDINGS ON INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH EJECTED AND NON-EJECTED OCCUPANTS

The results of re-analysis of data from a study of 98 "matched pair" cases (in which there were but two passengers, both in the front seat and only one of whom was ejected) are reported. The error in the initial analysis was a consequence of a shortcut coding convention used in the program. Tables of the retabulated data are presented. It is concluded, once more on the basis of the results, that although there were indeed persons who remain inside the vehicle who are fatally injured when those ejected are not, ejected persons are much more likely to be killed (and much less likely to be uninjured) than those who remain inside the same vehicle.
