Abstract
⺠We investigated head, neck, and extremity injury potential in pediatric falls. ⺠An anthropomorphic test device was used to simulate bed falls. ⺠The potential for severe head and extremity injuries in evaluated falls was low. ⺠Results suggest that concussion and humerus fracture are possible in these falls. ⺠Neck injury potential in pediatric falls should be investigated further.
