Myth 1: Is the car headrest placed for comfort?
The full name of the car headrest is "car seat safety headrest", the main purpose is to improve the safety of drivers and passengers in the process of driving the car.
Misunderstanding 2: Can you not install a car headrest?
In a car accident, the huge impact of the collision will be squeezed on the fragile neck. Even if the speed is only 10km / h, if the headrest is not protected, it may cause cervical spine injury or even become fatal.
The data shows that in 26% of rear-end collisions, the driver's head or neck will be injured. In rear-end accidents under the same conditions, the correct use of the head restraint reduces the probability of neck injury by 40% compared with the driver who does not use the headrest correctly.
Myth 3: The higher the headrest of the car, the better?
Some car owners believe that raising the headrest to protect the head from top to bottom is actually a misunderstanding.
The headrest is too high. In the event of a rear-end collision, the head of the person in the vehicle will impact the lower edge of the headrest in reverse, and may even directly hit the metal latch of the headrest, causing head injury.
