  1. Forces of Blunt Trauma
    • Compression
    • Stretch
    • Shear
  2. Events of Vehicle Collision
    • Vehicle Collision
    • Body Collision
    • Organ Collision
    • Secendary Collision
    • Additional Impacts
  3. Types of Vehicle Impact
    • Rotational
    • Frontal
    • Lateral
    • Rear end
    • Rollover
  4. Axial Loading
    Application of the forces of trauma along the axis of the spine; this often results in compression fracture of the spine
  5. Blast Injury Phases
    • Primary-caused by heat of explosion and overpressure wave
    • Secondary-caused by blast projectiles
    • Tertiary-caused by personnel displacement and structural collapse
  6. In a fall determine:
    • Point of impact
    • Fall height
    • velocity
    • impact surface
    • Transmission pathway of forces along the skeleton
    • Anticipate fracture sites and internal injury
