Avoid whiplash!
One of the most common injuries in a traffic accident is the dreaded whiplash. This injury, also known as whiplash, is an injury that is caused by a rapid and forceful movement of the neck, back and forth. It takes as a reference the movement of a whip, since the path is similar to that of a rope when it is moved with force. To avoid this, how should you position the headrest?
Avoid it or at least reduce its severity. And it is that, the seriousness of the result of an accident depends on a good position in the driving position. To “save the neck”, you must first avoid that the neck is too far from the headrest. In this way you will be able to reduce or eliminate cervical whiplash. But remember that you should not go with your head resting on the same headrest, it is an element of safety not comfort!
For everything to work as it should, and for what it has been created, the backrest of the seat cannot have more than 25 degrees of inclination. The strongest part of the headrest should be in line with the eyes, if the same element is placed too low it could worsen the consequences of an accident.
