What is the importance of the head restraints in the vehicle seats in a rear-end collision?
Pick an answer to test yourself
The correct answer: They reduce the rearward movements of the head (whiplash).
In a rear-end collision the head is thrown backwards suddenly, which is called whiplash. Head restraints reduce the rearward movements of the head. They are not meant to stop glare or protect from glass, and they do not prevent back pain.
