Breaking News: Over Half
of Car Seats cause Whiplash WASHINGTON (Nov. 15) - More than half of car seats do a poor job of preventing whiplash injury because of the way they are built, according to tests by the insurance industry. General Motors Corp. cars were among the worst performers, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said in results released Sunday. Volvo and Saab cars were among the best. The institute examined 97 seat and headrest combinations found in 88 cars now on the market. It tested 73 of those seats in a 20 mph rear-impact crash to see how well they would protect an average-size male dummy. The institute has evaluated headrests for nearly a decade. Neck injuries sustained in a rear-end crash rarely are life-threatening, but they happen frequently and can be painful and expensive. Neck injuries cost around $7 billion in insurance claims each year, the institute said. Whiplash happens when a vehicle is hit from behind and the seat propels forward. If the headrest does not move with the seat, the occupant's neck will bend back and stretch. see the complete article
