Abstract: In frontal impacts, the steering wheel is an essential component in fatal injuries to drivers. Due to the kinetic energy of the driver or occupant body during a frontal collision, it pushes forward on the steering wheel and wind shield. In a frontal impact, the driver's feet actually serve as the fulcrum via which forces are first transmitted, causing the body to rotate around them. The steering serves as the fulcrum for the taller driver. Driver's head and chest hitting the steering wheel or windshield could result in serious injury or even death. We are introducing a novel concept called the Pneumatic Collapsible Steering Column (PCS) in light of the risk of harm from steering wheels.
