Reclined Seats Break Car Passenger’s Necks

Automakers advertising campaigns have urged mom to recline her seat to nap while dad does the driving on the family road trip. Reclining your seat while the vehicle is rolling down the highway is extremely dangerous. The three-point restraint system of the shoulder and lap belt will not work. Occupants who tilt their seats back are usually killed or crippled by the safety restraints in a front end collision, rear-end collision or rollover accident.

Reclined Seat Injury Dangers Explained

Here’s why it is so hazardous. Your body slides or submarines under the lap belt. As your head flies forward, the belt acts as a garrot across your neck. Victims typically suffer a broken neck causing or quadriplegic paralysis. In another scenario, when the victim slides under the seat belt they are thrown around inside the vehicle or ejected.
