Question 2116
In a traffic crash, you may suffer whiplash if…
- The submarining effect occurs.
- Your seat belt is incorrectly adjusted.
- Your head restraint is incorrectly adjusted.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Your head restraint is incorrectly adjusted.
An improperly adjusted head restraint does not adequately limit sudden movement of the head relative to the torso. It therefore increases the risk of whiplash in a crash.
