Question

Which is the safest place to sit in a car?

Answer 1

Depends on the care and if seatbelts are worn.

If it is a severe headon, the driver is usually screwed because the impact causes the driver to be thrown into the steering column and have their ribs crushed. The front passenger may survive if there is an airbag, but in severe crashes the engine block can penetrate the front cabin (might not kill passenger but at least break their legs).

The back seats are better but only if people are wearing seatbelts. However, if it is a side crash, the person on the side of the impact can get severe head injuries on the side of the crash (pushed to the side and then 'sling' back to hit their head on the chassie). This is why there are moves to put airbags on sides of cars to cushion back seat passengers head trauma.

Rolling the car can be bad for everyone, but seatbelt wearers can survive because they don't get the head injuries or are thrown out of the car in severe rolls at high speed.

The worse scenario is speeding around a sharp corner and hitting a tree/powerpole. The car can corzintina (wrap around) killing everyone through crush injuries.

Wear your seatbelts people!

Answer 2

The middle back seat.

According to several studies,  the spot that is generally the least desirable, it turns out, is also the safest: the middle of the back seat. Uncomfortable, yes, but it’s also the seat that typically has the largest “crush zone,” an area around which the car collapses in a collision, ultimately protecting an occupant.

One large study of the subject, by researchers at the University of Buffalo in 2006, analyzed more than 60,000 fatal crashes and found that passengers in the middle back seat were 86 percent more likely to survive than those in the front seats, and 25 percent more likely to survive than those in the other rear seats.

Answer 9

On the back sit mostly because the most accidents happens by 2 cars destroying their fronts. And on the back of the driver because the human is built to defend itself, so if a crash happens the mindless (mindless because of the fear and the exceeding adrenaline before of the crash) driver he will mostly evade the crash regarding his co-driver. So the back of the driver sit is the best.
