BDifficulty 2/5

In crashes with similar characteristics, which group can be more vulnerable to serious injury because of age-related fragility?

Correct answer

Older people.

Older people can suffer more serious injury in comparable impacts because of greater physical fragility. This is a vulnerability trend, not a guarantee that every older person is injured more seriously than every child or young person. Impact, protection and individual health also matter; this does not show that older people cause more crashes.
