Insurance claims were examined for evidence of neck injuries to drivers of passenger cars struck in the rear. Neck injury rates were significantly lower for male drivers, elderly drivers, and drivers in less severe crashes. Even after accounting for differences in driver demographics and crash severity, neck injury rates were significantly lower for drivers of cars with head restraints that were more likely to be behind the heads of motorists.
对保险理赔记录进行了检查，以寻找乘用车后部受撞司机颈部受伤的证据。男性司机、年长司机以及在不太严重碰撞事故中的司机，其颈部受伤率显著较低。即使考虑到司机人口统计学特征和碰撞严重程度的差异，对于那些头枕更有可能位于驾驶者头部后方的汽车的司机而言，其颈部受伤率仍显著较低。
