Abstract

Tests to examine the resistance to cutting of several samples of post-mortem human skin have been conducted. The strength of the tissue is compared to that of a commonly used skin simulation, chamois leather. Several effects are noted relating to the physical behaviour of skin and skin simulations in sharp edge contacts likely to produce tissue damage. Particular reference is made to the minor trauma suffered as a consequence of head to windscreen contact in road traffic accidents.
