A sudden application of brakes may cause injury due to the inertia of our body, causing it to move forward and collide with the panels in front.
A sudden application of brakes can cause injury due to the inertia of our bodies. As the car decelerates rapidly, our bodies tend to remain in their state of motion, moving forward. The seatbelt restrains the torso, but the unrestrained head and neck may continue moving, leading to whiplash injuries. Moreover, without proper restraint, occupants can collide with the dashboard, windshield, or other parts of the vehicle. The abrupt change in motion during a sudden stop can result in internal injuries as organs continue their forward motion. Proper use of seatbelts and gradual braking can help mitigate these risks.
