In 1990 there were approximately 1,100 fatalities and 1600 serious injuries due to seat collapses in rear-ended collisions. Poorly designed automobile seats can cause serious injuries which could have been prevented had the seatback designs and manufacturing defects been replaced with proven safety measures that have been readily available for years.

A seatback should be able to keep the vehicle’s occupants safe by keeping the individual from moving forward and impacting the interior of the vehicle in a collision, or being completely ejected. The safety standards for automobile seats are too lenient and not updated to protect occupants from injuries. Automobile seats are not required to be tested in crash tests, and safety standards today do not suffice in preventing fatalities and serious injuries because of the lack of proper seat strength standards.
