Whipguard™ - Fits like a glove on your headrest.

Whipguard™- Improves your safety by narrowing the gap between the head and the head-rest, the main cause for neck injuries during an accident.

In 90% of cars there is a dangerous gap between the head and head-rest that is unsafe and 80% of all car accident victims suffer from whiplash.

Whipguard™- Can be easily adjusted to your personal
seating posture.

WhipGuard™ - Complies with the American standard (FMVSS201 & FMVSS202), European standard (ECE25) and recommended by THATCHAM – a world's leading crash laboratory and MIRA – the world's leading company for vehicle safety testing.

THATCHAM: Whipguard™ has the potential to reduce the risk of sustaining a whiplash injury, by allowing the head rest to be closer to the head.
MIRA: "Whipguard™ can be a benefit to any head-rest it is used on"

The American National Highway Traffic Safety Administration – NHTSA:

"…A new "backset" requirement would limit the distance between the back of the occupant's head and the front of the head restraint to 2 inches."

European and American Regulations: - FMVSS no. 201, FMVSS no. 202, ECE25:

"…. the distance between the back of the head from representing the position of a 50th percentile head, in a normally seated position, and the head restraint (defined as backset) be no farther than 50mm (2 inches) in any adjustment position."

The motor insurance repair research centre – THATCHAM:

"….To be effective, a head restraint must be as close to the back of the head as possible (touching is best) and the top of the restraint should be as high as the top of the head."
