Broken Seat Backs
Seat backs should be designed to stay upright in an accident to support the occupants body. However, many car seating systems contribute to injuries by collapsing in the event of an accident or collision. Additionally, for those car seatbacks that do maintain structural integrity in the initial moments of an accident sometimes fail when the occupant's weight is thrown backwards into the seat. Expectation would be that all seat backs are made to survive these forces but, too often, seats collapse under occupants' weight and inflict injuries beyond those related directly to the other vehicle.
