One likely reason cited in the text for pedestrian versus motor vehicle collisions to be the main cause for pelvic fractures in pediatric patients is _____________. The smaller stature of the pediatric patient places his or her pelvic structure at a height for direct impact by a motor vehicle. Pediatric patients do not fall off roofs or tall structures as often as adult patients. The pediatric patient is less likely to have a bone disease like osteoporosis. Adults tend to be in higher energy, high-speed motor vehicle collisions when children are not in the vehicle with them.
