Abstract
Various studies suggest that yielding vehicular seats reduce the potential for injury, in contrast others suggest serious trauma to front and rear seat occupants when front seats collapse rearwards. This study shows that front seat failures cause greater serious injury to front seat occupants with the same change in vehicle speed due to a rear impact
