# Variable Value Notes<br />
P92<br />
Ejection<br />
5.1 only<br />
During a collision <strong>and</strong> particularly rollover situations an occupant can be ejected from within a<br />
vehicle; the extent <strong>of</strong> this ejection can vary from partial to full ejection <strong>and</strong> is dependant on<br />
body styles <strong>and</strong> restraint use.<br />
Only applicable if the occupant(s) were thrown from a closed bodied vehicle such as a Car,<br />
Van, Truck, Bus or agricultural vehicle, this also applies to convertible vehicles with the ro<strong>of</strong><br />
down.<br />
Vehicles without bodies such as Motorcycles or Bicycles are always coded as ‘Not<br />
Applicable’<br />
1 = None<br />
Occupant remained fully in vehicle<br />
2 = Partial<br />
A portion (upper torso, head) or body part (arm, leg) <strong>of</strong> the occupant emerged from the<br />
silhouette <strong>of</strong> the vehicle during or after the collision but the occupant remained partially within<br />
the vehicle. Comment on the extent <strong>of</strong> the ejection <strong>and</strong> ejection route if known.<br />
3 = Full<br />
The occupant was fully ejected from the vehicle. Comment on ejection route if known, <strong>for</strong><br />
example the occupant was ejected through the side window, windscreen, sunro<strong>of</strong> etc<br />
P93<br />
Entrapment/extrication<br />
5.1 only<br />
-777 = Not applicable<br />
-999 = Unknown<br />
Code ‘Not applicable’ in the case <strong>of</strong> a cyclist or motorcyclist.<br />
It is unknown if the person was ejected, either partially or fully, from the vehicle.<br />
An occupant can become trapped within a vehicle during an <strong>accident</strong> due to vehicle factors<br />
such as de<strong>for</strong>mation, door jamming or failure (electrical or mechanical) <strong>of</strong> door locks <strong>and</strong><br />
mechanisms or through external influences such as the presence <strong>of</strong> external objects such as<br />
another vehicle, ditch side or wall etc. Emergency service intervention is <strong>of</strong>ten required to<br />
free the occupants.<br />
1 = None<br />
The occupant was not trapped physically within the vehicle. The doors operated sufficiently<br />
<strong>and</strong> no body parts were trapped through de<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />
2 = Partial<br />
Trapped within vehicle due to de<strong>for</strong>med structure but able to move around. Caused by door<br />
jamming or mechanical/electrical failure, occupant not physically trapped by body parts <strong>and</strong> is<br />
there<strong>for</strong>e able to move around the vehicle interior. The presence <strong>of</strong> external objects that<br />
prohibit egress are also coded in this category<br />
