During accidents, one of the vulnerable parts getting injured is the vertebral column. It is a well known fact that at the time of accidents, the vertebral column is subjected to axial loads; horizontal loads, bending moments and combination of the above. This paper deals with the study about the deflections and forces in vertebrae produced in the vertebral column (spine) during the course of accidents, using the software STAAD.Pro.
