UiTM lecturer says neither the weight of the fireman nor that of the EMRS van that hit him should have been taken into account in calculating the force of impact. FMTNews HKL

Senior lecturer Amir Rafzi Ab Ghani from Universiti Teknologi Mara Shah Alam’s mechanical engineering faculty.

Amir, an expert in physics and a technical consultant on vehicle impact, told coroner Rofiah Mohamad that only the weight of the door of the van was needed in calculating the amount of force that hit him, not the whole van. He noted that the door of the EMRS was “pin-jointed”, meaning it was moving and therefore had a different centre of gravity from that of the vehicle.His evidence comes in the wake of conflicting testimony by two pathologists as to how Adib’s injuries were caused.

He had also dismissed the possibility of Adib sustaining the fractures to his front right ribs in a fall on the road curb.Ahmad said he found Shahrom’s calculations inaccurate, and used two calculations based on differing speeds at which the van was reversing, both of which revealed that the force was strong enough to cause the fractures.
