The kind of accident that can lead to a whiplash claim, such as a car crash, can be too fast and scary to give drivers or passengers time to protect themselves from the impact. However, in slower collisions, a brace position may be useful, according to some research.
Some studies that have been performed suggest that people who prepare for a potential whiplash injury by pushing their heads and spines back into the seat when a rear impact is expected are more likely to survive the incident without personal injury. It seems the awareness can be seen as both a significant variable in terms of the result of the accident and a prognostic tool as regards long-term whiplash pain.
Drivers are more likely to be aware of an impact from the side or front, which is good if the research holds, but further study appears to have been difficult to undertake as the number of research subjects is lower.
Other research, however, suggests that people do not always brace themselves in a way that helps them to avoid personal injury; it appears that one natural response to the awareness of a car approaching from the rear is to lean forward, away from the impact. Suggested reasons for this are varied, and even include doubt about the ability of a whiplash injury victim to recall accurately what happened in a crash.
