side impact

**side impact**
A side impact refers to a type of collision or force that occurs from the side of a vehicle or object. In automotive safety, side impacts are significant because they can cause serious injury due to the limited crumple zones and proximity to occupants. This term is often used in discussions about crash tests, vehicle safety ratings, airbags, and structural reinforcements designed to protect passengers during side collisions.
