Correct answer
whiplash.
Correct adjustment of the headrest reduces the risk of whiplash. The headrest, when correctly adjusted for height and distance, is designed to prevent this injury in the event of an accident, especially in rear-end collisions. Whiplash can also cause muscular pain, headaches, restricted neck movement and other uncomfortable symptoms such as vertigo or dizziness. Properly adjusting the headrest is an important measure for reducing the risk of suffering these injuries in a road traffic accident.
