Rollover car crashes (ROCs) are serious public safety concerns worldwide. Rollover car crashes are associated with high morbidity and mortality, which is a serious public safety concern worldwide. While injuries associated with ROCs can range from minor to severe, injuries associated with ejection due to rollover are specifically severe. A recent study reported a 20-fold increased risk of severe injuries and 91 times greater risk of mortality if an individual is ejected completely from a car crash during an ROC.

Ejection is associated with the most serious consequences in motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) and is mainly caused due to noncompliance of seat belt. The majority of injuries due to ejection are usually preventable by the simple act of wearing a seat belt. When estimating the effects of wearing a seat belt, it’s reported that controlling ejection of drivers significantly reduces the rate of morbidity and mortality by 58% and 72%, respectively.
