Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an up and over trajectory, the injuries are typically directed towards the head, chest, and abdomen as the body moves forward and upward, impacting the steering wheel, dashboard, or windshield. Patella dislocation and femoral injuries are more associated with a down and under trajectory where the lower extremities are forced under the dashboard.
