Question 5308
As pedestrians, children between 6 and 10 years old are especially vulnerable because, if they are hit by a vehicle, the greatest harm usually occurs in...
- the lower extremities.
- the head or vital parts of the body.
- the torso and knees.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: the head or vital parts of the body.
Because children are short, a vehicle that hits them usually strikes their head or other vital parts of their body. That is why the consequences are often very serious.
