August 5, 2008 4:22 am admin Autos

There have been a number of reports of late about fairly modern cars not holding up well in whiplash tests. So what does this mean? well essentially whiplash is an injury caused by the sudden jerking movement which is experienced during a car crash. Whip lash injuries are usually quite mild but can in some cases be very bad and can cause long term damage to victims shoulder and necks. Often a whiplash injury can occur even in a very low speed crash such as a 5 mile an hour collision.  It is really important to research your cars ability to prevent whiplash injuries when you buy a new car.
