Seatbelts aren't the only thing that can help prevent serious injury. A safe vehicle also includes a properly adjusted headrest.
In fact, that little cushion at the top of your seat can go a long way in preventing whiplash injuries, which represent more than half of all auto injury claims in Saskatchewan.
Most whiplash injuries are the result of rear-end collisions that cause your head to snap back suddenly, even though most of these collisions take place at low to moderate speeds.
Protect yourself by adjusting your headrest so the top edge is level with the top of your head. It will cushion the back of your head in a collision and can help to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash injury.
