Over an 11-month period a study was made of all patients presenting to an accident and emergency department who had sustained whiplash as a result of rear-bumper impacts. The patients were analysed with respect to the presence of head-restraints in their vehicles. A significant increase in the incidence of whiplash was found in patients whose vehicles did not have head-restraints fitted. Legislation requiring all passenger cars to have head-restraints fitted as standard would have a major impact in reducing the number of whiplash injuries sustained in rear bumper impacts.
在为期11个月的时间里，对所有因后保险杠撞击而遭受颈部挥鞭伤并前往急诊部就诊的患者进行了一项研究。对这些患者车辆中是否配备头枕进行了分析。结果发现，车辆未安装头枕的患者颈部挥鞭伤的发生率显著增加。要求所有乘用车将头枕作为标准配置的立法，将对减少后保险杠撞击导致的颈部挥鞭伤数量产生重大影响。
