Seatbelt..or maybe airbag
In a collision, the second collision is when an unsecured driver strikes the inside of the vehicle.
What happens to people inside a car during a collision and the laws that apply
In the first 10th of a second during a collision, the vehicle experiences a rapid deceleration, while everything inside, including passengers and unsecured objects, continues to move at the vehicle's pre-collision speed. This difference in motion creates a significant risk for injury, as inertia causes these items to collide with the interior of the vehicle. Proper safety measures, like seatbelts and airbags, are crucial to mitigate these forces and protect occupants during such events.
In a crash, the second collision refers to the impact that occurs when a passenger or object inside the vehicle strikes another object within the vehicle, such as the dashboard or steering wheel, after the initial collision with another vehicle or object. This secondary impact can cause additional injuries to the occupants of the vehicle.
That would depend on how many vehicles are involved. If only two vehicles are involved, and they both stop after the crash, then there is one collision That's not what is meant. There is ALWAYS more than one collision when a car crashes. There are THREE (3) collisions in every crash. The car itself hitting the other car; your body hitting the dash or other part of the car depending on where you're sitting; and finally the collision that is inside the body, your organs and bones hitting against the inside of your body.
when your inside a car, and you dont have your seat belt on, your like a missle
In a collision that brings the vehicle to a sudden stop, seat belts will prevent people inside the vehicle from being thrown forward, often through the windsceen.
the second occurs from internal damage cause by occupants and/or belongings inside the car that fly everywhere because they aren't secure.
The purpose of air bags in vehicles is to keep passengers and/or drivers safe in the event of a collision. When a vehicle stops abruptly, such as happens when in a collision, the people inside continue to move at the same speed that the vehicle was moving before the collision happened. This can cause many different types of injuries and can even cause someone to fly out of the suddenly stopped vehicle if they are not properly restrained. An airbag provides a "air pillow" for passengers to collide with in the event of a collision, which everyone would agree, is much better than coming into contact with a steering wheel at 25 MPH or faster.
Distractions that may cause a collision include using a phone while driving, talking to passengers, eating or drinking, adjusting the radio or climate controls, daydreaming, and reaching for items inside the vehicle. All these distractions can take your focus away from the road and increase the risk of a collision.
A head-on collision at city speeds is similar to the impact of a sudden stop, like hitting a solid wall while traveling at a moderate pace. The forces involved can result in significant damage to both vehicles and severe injury to occupants, akin to the destructive impact of a minor explosion. Just as in an explosion, the rapid deceleration and transfer of energy can lead to catastrophic outcomes for those inside.
