En 2021, m\u00e1s de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/frontline\/article\/underride-crash-truck-dangerous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Murieron 400 personas<\/a> debido a un accidente por empotramiento. Hay varias razones por las que este tipo de accidente suele provocar lesiones graves o v\u00edctimas mortales, entre ellas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Disparidad de tama\u00f1o:<\/b> El enorme tama\u00f1o de un semirremolque hace que un veh\u00edculo m\u00e1s peque\u00f1o pueda quedar atrapado debajo. La fuerza de la colisi\u00f3n hace que el techo del coche se desplome.<\/li>\n<li><b>Elementos de seguridad ineficaces:<\/b> Los veh\u00edculos de pasajeros disponen de m\u00faltiples dispositivos de seguridad para proteger a los ocupantes en caso de colisi\u00f3n con otro coche. Sin embargo, estas mismas caracter\u00edsticas no se activan cuando un coche se desliza bajo un cami\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li><b>Velocidad:<\/b> La mayor\u00eda de los accidentes por empotramiento ocurren en la autopista, donde los veh\u00edculos circulan a gran velocidad. La velocidad a la que el veh\u00edculo se desliza bajo el cami\u00f3n y queda atrapado amplifica la fuerza de la colisi\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Estos accidentes suelen ocurrir cuando el veh\u00edculo m\u00e1s grande est\u00e1 haciendo un giro, se detiene de repente o incluso si est\u00e1 aparcado y el veh\u00edculo m\u00e1s peque\u00f1o no puede frenar a tiempo para evitar la colisi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Para evitar este tipo de accidentes, los semirremolques disponen de protecciones traseras que impiden que los coches se deslicen por debajo en caso de colisi\u00f3n trasera. Sin embargo, las empresas de transporte deben hacer m\u00e1s. Varios senadores han propuesto repetidamente leyes que exigen que los semirremolques tengan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/frontline\/article\/trucks-underride-crashes-nhtsa-dot-iihs-safety-cars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">protecciones antiempotramiento <\/a>pero el proyecto de ley no ha llegado m\u00e1s lejos.<\/p>\n<p>Las v\u00edctimas que sobreviven a un accidente por empotramiento suelen sufrir lesiones que les cambian la vida. La indemnizaci\u00f3n puede ayudar a proporcionarles seguridad econ\u00f3mica mientras se recuperan.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While any car accident can be catastrophic, one type in particular can be especially dangerous \u2014 the underride crash.
