The conducted study showed that the concept of «falling and hitting the hood», traditionally considered as the second phase of accidents, is often incorrect. In some cases, this phase may be completely absent in a frontal collision. Or, after the initial impact, multiple impacts of various parts of the pedestrian's body on the vehicle body are possible, which creates a complex picture of injuries that does not fit well into the framework of traditional concepts.
