An apparatus for preventing whiplash related injuries has a support member (14) adjustably supported within the seat (12) of a vehicle, and adapted to be moved upwardly or downwardly relative to a passenger in the seat. A frame (16) is supported on the support member and located behind the cranium and cervical spine of the passenger. A layer of resilient material (18) is supported on the frame (16), and defines a supporting surface (20). The supporting surface defines a contour that corresponds to the posterior contour of the passenger's cranium and cervical spine. The supporting surface is therefore adapted to simultaneously decelerate the cranium and cervical spine during a vehicle collision and, thus, prevent whiplash related injuries to the passenger. |
