Head restraints

protect against whiplash injuries
only help in head-on collisions
only help in side-impact collisions
absorb energy from rear-end collisions

Head restraints protect against whiplash injuries, which typically occur in rear-end collisions. They absorb energy from rear-end collisions and help reduce the risk of injury to the head and neck. Head restraints are an important safety feature in vehicles and should be properly adjusted to provide optimal protection.
