Importance of using head rest while driving
Importance of head rest:
Headrests of modern cars are height adjustable and are finished with same materials as seat. Headrests are specifically designed to work with seatbelts. They are designed to prevent the head from snapping backwards and causing whiplash, so reducing the chances of fatal neck injuries during accidents.
In most front/rear crashes, the head moves and twists on the neck. In all safety studies, statistics have proven over and over that due to poorly designed headrests and improperly adjusted headrests, neck injuries are very high, even in the most minor accidents.
How to adjust head rest?
The position of the headrest is important not only in case of an accident, but also to allow you better posture. The headrest should be about 1 inch from the back of your head, when sitting in the normal driving position, to absorb shock. This is important, as it means that your neck muscles and ligaments are controlling the posture of your head, giving better support in the case of an accident. Headrest should not be kept behind neck as this may cause serious neck injuries during accidents.
In 2004 the Prudential Car Insurance Company released the findings of a study (of 2,000 people) into how we sit in a car. 61% don’t have their headrest at the right angle when driving, which could cause rupture of spinal ligaments or worse in bad accidents; Many experienced drivers who check their headrest regularly still don’t have a idea whether it was correct or not.
Hence adjusting your headrest correctly is a simple lifesaving measure and incorrect adjustment can cause neck pain and back pain in minor cases and permanent disability or even death, in extreme cases.
Prevention is better than cure. Sit comfortably, drive relaxed.
