BACKGROUND Spinal trauma is a major cause of morbidity, with cervical injuries being the most common type. Desert safari dune bashing, a popular tourist activity, poses a significant risk due to various maneuvers and exposes occupants to flexion-extension, axial loading, and rotational injuries of the spine. Rollover crashes on dunes exert unique forces on occupants, often leading to spinal injuries. Biomechanical analysis and understanding injury patterns assist in prognosis and prevention. Thi
