What is the maximum MAIS level and what does it represent?

Explanation:
MAIS reflects the highest injury severity a person has from a crash, using the AIS scale to rate each injury. The maximum level is 6, which represents fatal or unsurvivable injuries—injuries that cannot be survived or are currently not treatable. Levels below that (5 being critical, 4 severe, 3 serious) indicate progressively less severe injuries. If any injury is AIS 6, the MAIS is 6, signaling death as the crash outcome.
