The safety of passengers in the rear seats of cars precarious experts. When you hit the trunk of the people sitting in the second row, get the maximum number of injuries.
According to KHABAR KHODRO, According to recent tests of motorists club ADAC, the system of active and passive vehicle safety most brands are not well taken care of keeping the health of passengers the second row. In both new and old cars rear seat is not always protected by air bags and window shutters. In addition, on the second row is much less likely to impose additional devices, such as the modified four-point safety belts.
The main causes of injury to rear passengers during a crash are not well adjusted head restraints and the lack of a useful habit to wear seat belts. In the front seat German motorists fastened in 97% of a hundred, while in the background – only sporadically. In addition, the seat belts themselves, if they do not pre-tensioners and limiter, can cause serious injuries.
If the driver and passenger in the front seat most likely to damage the lower extremities, in particular, the shins, knees or hips, then the second row under threat is the upper torso and neck passenger. Lack of pre-tensioners and belt limiter can “haunt” a strong chest injury. As shown by statistical calculations, the installation of these devices reduces the risk of uncomplicated injuries of the chest at least half.
But the biggest danger comes from is not well established head restraints – that the passengers back row, their heads are sometimes very far removed from this soft “support”, most often there are serious injuries of the cervical spine.
