In a severe frontal impact collision, which injury is likely from the second collision in the three collision rule?

In the context of a severe frontal impact collision, the "three collision rule" refers to the three stages of collision that occur during such an event. The first collision is when the vehicle strikes another object, the second collision happens when the occupant's body collides with the interior of the vehicle, and the third collision is when the organs within the body collide with each other.

The correct answer pertains to the injuries that can occur during the second collision, specifically injuries to the head when the occupant strikes the dashboard or windshield. In a severe frontal impact, the forward momentum can result in the person's head and body continuing to move forward even after the vehicle has come to a stop or transitioned suddenly due to the impact. This can lead to striking the windshield, which is often a hard, unyielding surface. The potential for massive contusions and lacerations to the forehead arises because of the abrupt halt of motion and the contact made with the windshield.

While other options point to possible injuries and effects that may arise from this type of accident, they either address different aspects of the collision process or refer to damage that does not occur from the immediate impact of the body against the vehicle's interior surfaces during the second collision. Thus, the significant likelihood of head
