scoring of all body regions was penalised owing to the increased risk of injury.
«The surprise continued when we started examining the distribution of feathers and and realized that there were translucent sheets of skin that connected

However, structures in the dashboard were thought to present a risk to occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions, and protection
of this body region was rated as marginal.
The pelvis slipped under the lap part of the seatbelt, indicated by a sudden drop in load, and protection
of this body region was rated as poor.

of all body regions.

of all body regions.
The Caddy scored maximum points in the side barrier test, with good protection
of all body regions.
Similarly, decelerations in the chest of the 6 year dummy indicated poor protection
of this body region.
However, readings of chest compression in the rear passenger dummy indicated weak protection
of that body region, despite the standard - fit seatbelt pre-tensioners and load - limiters in the rear seats.
Readings of chest compression indicated marginal protection
of that body region.
In the full - width rigid barrier test, protection
of all body regions was good, with the exception of the chest of both dummies and the neck of the rear passenger dummy, protection of which was adequate.
In both the side barrier test and the more severe side pole impact, the C - HR scored maximum points, with good protection
of all body regions.
