There are many types of accidents.
World-renowned motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson once said: “Speed has never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that’s what gets you.”
He’s not wrong. According to the laws of physics, an “object remains in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force.”
Basically, injuries happen when you (the object) suddenly change direction, make an abrupt stop, and hit an object or make an abrupt stop with no impact.
This can happen when you are:
- in a car
- on a bike
- running
- on a ladder
- walking downstairs
- boating
- skiing (or other sport)
- innocent bystander
When you hit something, something hits you, or your direction gets changed; either a little or a lot of power is deposited into your body. The severity of the injury will depend on the details of the situation (the who, what, when, speed, 2nd impact, etc.)
