Ejection refers to motorists or occupants being totally or partially thrown from the vehicle (including the bed of pickup trucks) during the course of the crash. This includes occupants of jeeps, go carts, snowmobiles, three- or four-wheel ATVs. Note: This field excludes people on motorcycles.
Partial ejection refers to those instances where some part but not all of a motorist’s or occupant’s body is, at some time during the crash sequence, outside the occupant compartment.
00 - Not Ejected - Use this option if the motorist or occupant was not ejected. Use this option for motorists of a hit-and-run vehicle, unless ejection occurred.
01 - Totally Ejected can be used when the motorist’s or occupant's body is entirely outside the vehicle but may be in contact with the vehicle. This includes motorists or occupants who are not initially in the seating compartment of the vehicle (e.g., pickup beds, boot of a convertible and persons riding on open tailgates).
02 - Partially Ejected refers to those instances where some part but not all of a motorist’s or occupant's body is, at some time during the crash sequence, outside the occupant compartment. This does not apply to motorists or occupants who are not initially in the seating compartment of the vehicle (e.g., pickup beds, boot of a convertible and persons riding on open tailgates), since any ejection for them is 01 - Totally Ejected.
