Is whiplash injury a result of contemporary living?

There are various ways in which you could sustain a whiplash injury. One of the most common ways is in a rear-end car accident, and in fact around 80% of those who are involved in car accidents sustain whiplash.

It is not just in the UK that whiplash injuries are sustained so frequently. For example, in Germany during 1992, a total of 395,462 road accidents were reported, in which 197,731 whiplash injuries were suffered. Today there are even more cars on the roads and although safety devices designed to reduce whiplash rates, such as specialist seats and headrests, have been mastered by the likes of Saab and Volvo, this personal injury is still as common as ever.

Another way fairly common way of sustaining whiplash is through sports injuries. Skiing is becoming an increasingly popular choice and is a great alternative for those who prefer the snowy slopes of the Alps to the sunny beaches of the Canary Islands. While a few hours on the piste could result in altitude sickness, windburn, hyperthermia and fractures, holiday accidents resulting in whiplash injuries are often reported amongst skiers.

The links between modern living and whiplash don't just stop there. Whiplash and other neck injuries have also been reported after theme park accidents and bungee jumping accidents.

So from everyday life to popular recreational activities it seems that whiplash injuries could very well be considered as injuries associated with modern life.
