What is the main function of the seat safety headrest?
1 Answers
The main function of the seat safety headrest is to prevent the cervical spine of the front seat passengers from being injured due to inertia in the event of a rear-end collision or other safety accidents. When a rear-end collision occurs, the occupant's head will suddenly jerk backward. Without a headrest, it can cause severe whiplash injuries. With a headrest, it can support the head, effectively alleviating the tremendous impact force during an accident and preventing excessive backward tilting of the head, which could lead to neck injuries. As a safety device, seat safety headrests have gradually become widely used in vehicles and have been listed as a mandatory national standard. All vehicle models must be equipped with headrests on both front and rear seats, and there are strict regulations on the material, strength, energy absorption, position, and size of the headrests.
