The driver's seat is placed on a sled to mimic rear-end collisions at 20 mph. Rear-end collisions at low to moderate speeds typically do not result in serious injuries but they are common. [35] In 2005 the IIHS estimated 25% of medical costs were related to whiplash injuries. The head restraint evaluation test was discontinued in 2022. [36]

[1] For example, a common case observed in crashes is the position of an occupant when reaching for the car radio , [ 2 ] or panic braking in unbelted passengers. [ 3 ]
