Abstract

The results of a survey carried out at Christchurch Hospital examining the problem of traffic trauma are described. The majority of casualties were in the 15-24 age group and motorcyclists were especially prominent. The type and severity of injuries is discussed for each role, e.g., driver, passenger etc. The availability and use of safety equipment (seat belts and crash helmets) by the victims who came to hospital is also detailed. Accidents were found to occur predominantly (88 percent) in urban areas and very close to the victim's home.
