Whiplash Injury Care at Active Life Wellness
Minor Accidents Are Most Dangerous
The latest research studies conclude that occupants can be injured considerably more in auto accidents that could be termed “fender benders” than in higher-speed collisions. It is very tempting to minimize your injuries because your car has very little or no damage, but nothing can be further from the truth according to the experts.
What Happens to Your Body
Slow motion video reveals that upon impact, your body is forced deeply into your seat and then within an instant it changes direction, moving quickly forward to the restraining limits of your seat belt. However, your head actually moves in the complete opposite direction!
Since the seat belt cannot restrain your head, it is jerked back & forth beyond its normal limits. Everything seems to be happening in slow motion and you can’t stop your head from the whipping motion of quickly backward and then immediately forward…ouch!
