Is it advisable to use head restraints on all the seats in the car?
Active and passive safety
Explanation
The **headrest** is a **passive safety** device in vehicles that protects the neck and the **cervical vertebrae** in the event of a sudden impact. The cervical vertebrae are the bones in the upper part of the spine, and their protection is crucial to avoid serious injuries.
- It is important to adjust the headrest correctly: the top should be at the same height as the top of the passenger's head. Additionally, the distance between the head and the headrest should be four centimeters or less to offer optimal protection.
- Proper use of the headrest is essential in both the front and rear seats of the vehicle. This helps prevent neck injuries, especially in collision situations.
Therefore, it is advisable to use headrests in all car seats to prevent injuries to the cervical area of the neck.
