18. Mr Takagi presented information from Japan on the injury risk outside the bumper corners (document TF-BTA-03-04/Rev.1), summarizing accident data from 1993 to 2003. He concluded that leg injuries also occur outside the vehicle center but that the relation to the bumper test area is unknown. Mr Edwards noted that the number of accidents is higher at the curb side (which is the left side when looking from the driver’s seat considering the right hand traffic in Japan) and obviously may be influenced by the pedestrians’ behaviour which was confirmed. Also, it was clarified on request of Mr Knotz that the area C refers to “center”, A to the “headlamp area” and B to the area in between. It was explained that it is sometimes hard to distinguish this but that the number of injuries in principle is higher in the center of the vehicle.
