These car seat failures often occur when there are rear-end, hit from behind type, accidents. The forces unleashed by this kind of crash are transferred from the impact to the back of the seat, which then cracks and buckles under that amount of force. The person sitting in the seat is then violently thrown and injured, even when wearing a seatbelt. Injuries which are common injuries after such accidents can include lacerated organs, leading to internal bleeding, paralysis and spinal injuries. Activists who are familiar with these seat back problems explain that any rear seat passengers in the vehicle, frequently small children, are also likely to suffer from serious wounds and injuries because of this defect. The child victims have suffered from disfiguring facial injuries, head injuries and have even died after they were struck by seat pieces. Claims and cases have been fully documented of headrests literally breaking off and hitting back seat passengers also.
