Abstract
An apparatus for preventing whiplash related injuries to a passenger in a vehicle. The apparatus includes a frame supported on a seat of the vehicle, and a head and neck restraint secured to the frame and located behind the cranium and cervical spine of a seated passenger. The restraint comprises one or more fluid pressurized bladders, the walls of which are a tough flexible skin. The walls define a supporting device that interfits with the posterior contour of the passenger's cranium and cervical spine. This substantially simultaneously decelerates the cranium and cervical spine during a vehicle collision to prevent whiplash-related injuries to the passenger.
