Which Part of the Body Does the Safety Headrest Protect in a Rear-End Collision?

[DeConnor]

Safety headrests provide support to the neck during a rear-end collision. Below is relevant information about rear-end accidents: 1. Introduction to Rear-End Collisions: A rear-end collision occurs when the front of a following vehicle strikes the rear of the leading vehicle in the same lane. This is mainly caused by insufficient following distance (less than the minimum safe distance), delayed driver reaction, or poor braking system performance. 2. Tips to Prevent Rear-End Collisions: Reduce speed in advance when approaching sections with blind spots, such as large undulating roads. Maintain consistent speed when going uphill or downhill, and be prepared for emergency stops or lane changes. Avoid following too closely—maintain a sufficient safe distance and always be ready to brake if the leading vehicle brakes suddenly. Try to avoid emergency braking whenever possible. If a situation arises, decelerate in advance and use light braking to alert the following vehicle. Novice drivers should avoid using the fast lane whenever possible.
