Rear Passenger's Side: Whiplash: Similar to the rear driver's side, whiplash is expected. There's a chance of the passenger’s head hiƫng the side window or the back of the front seats leading to potenƟal head injuries, including brain bleed temporomandibular joint syndrome and ligament laxity. All of these are lifeƟme injuries.
It's really important here to understand that there is a thing that happens to our ligaments in these types of hyperflexion and hyperextension injuries, and it's called ligament laxity. And what that means is that the ligament is stretched out of its normal shape, and it never ever ever goes back to its regular shape, When this happens to us in a whiplash type injury, the ligament can no longer hold our head up like it should. As a result of that our muscles take over and try to hold the head up where the ligaments would do it before because that is taxing to our muscles. That's why we get aching necks and pain. That is constant because our muscles are working overtime, trying to take over the job of the now stretched ligaments.
