IIHS Finds Majority of Cars Come Up Short in Head/Neck Injury Protection

A head restraint should be positioned behind each occupant's head for support, and seats must be designed so the head restraint does not move forward in a rear-end crash. The IIHS found that seat/head restraints in more than 60% of car models scored poorly in protection from neck injury or whiplash.
