00:10whiplash prevention test, which is part of our overall crashworthiness evaluations.
00:15Ear-impact crashes are the most common crash on the roadways today, and so this means that

00:20a lot of people.
00:21And so we're doing this testing to make sure that automakers are designing the best seats.
00:25It's possible in order to reduce those injuries.
00:28IHS has been...
00:30evaluating seats for whiplash protection for over 20 years.
00:35The original test did a great job at reducing injuries and improving seat designs.
00:40But we're still seeing that people are getting injured in the real world.
00:43And so we're introducing this new...
00:45test to encourage further improvements in seat and head restraint designs.
00:50This...
00:50This new test is more challenging, not only because we added a new severity, but also
00:53because we reassessed...
00:55how we're evaluating seats.
00:57We are encouraging automakers to have good head and...
01:00defined support, stable interaction between the head and head restraint, and...
01:05good energy management in the seat.

01:20We had three vehicles that were poor performers.
01:22Those included the Hyundai Tucson, the Mazda CX...

01:27So these vehicles had elevated measures...
01:30in most of the categories that we're looking at.
01:33Consumers who are looking for...
01:35the best whiplash protection in a new vehicle should consider other options.
01:40Whether you're driving an older vehicle or a brand new vehicle, the best way to protect...
01:45yourself in a rear impact crash is to properly adjust your head restraint.
01:49And this means...
01:50just making sure that it's as close as possible to your head...
01:53and high enough to support your head.
01:55Just like wearing your seatbelt, adjusting your head restraint is a simple step that you can...
