Acceleration Deceleration Syndrome

Most road traffic accidents involve a rear end shunt caused by the vehicle behind failing to stop. This type of collision causes a severe jolt to both the driver and any passengers the extent of which depends on the speed of the rear vehicle at the instant contact and the weight of that vehicle. The occupants of the front vehicle, no matter how well they are restrained by seat belts will inevitably suffer from an acceleration/deceleration injury otherwise known as whiplash for anything but the slowest of speeds. Whilst seatbelts are of very little assistance there is a great deal of evidence to show that properly positioned head restraints can reduce the extent of whiplash injury. This injury occurs due to stretching of the muscles of the neck which are damaged and in due course swell placing pressure on the adjacent nerves which causes pain and discomfort. The mechanics of the injury are that a sudden jolt from the rear causes the body to move forward stretching and damaging the muscles of the neck for an instant followed immediately by pressure in the opposite direction which also causes damage as the head snaps back into position.
