(Table 2) Bumper and top surface of bonnet/wing each accounts for about 20% of vehicle sources of AIS 2-6 pedestrian injuries. (Table 3) Windscreen Glass is the most frequent vehicle source of head injury, with the windscreen frame/A-pillars and top surface of bonnet/wing both being substantial additional sources of injury to the head. For children, the top surface of the bonnet is the leading cause of head injury. Bumper is the leading source for both child and adult pedestrian leg injury.
