Whiplash injury is the most common injury seen in motor vehicle crashes. Many class whiplash as a minor injury however serious cases can lead to long painful and incapacitating symptoms for many years after the accident.
Symptoms of whiplash injury vary from each victim ranging from relatively mild stiffness and headaches to more serious, long-term permanent impairment.
Whilst the actual injury mechanisms are still misunderstood it is obvious that a good car seat, and a good quality head restraint design and adjustment facility can significant reduce the risk and severity of any personal injury during a car crash.
For best protection against whiplash during a car accident, your head restraints should be as close as possible to, and ideally touching the back of your head. It should be set to the height of the top of your ears and ideally as high as the top of your head.
