Did you know you can suffer whiplash from a car accident even when driving as slow as 5 mph? New studies are showing that even small rises in the speed a vehicle is traveling when it has an accident can significantly increase the risk of serious or deadly injuries.
If you’re experiencing pain after a car accident, even one that happened at slow speeds, chiropractic care from County Line Chiropractic can help.
New crash tests performed by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and Humanetics showed that slightly higher speeds were enough to increase the driver’s risk of severe injury or death. They crashed three 2010 Honda CR-V EX crossovers – one at 40 mph, one at 50 mph, and one at 56 mph.
There was minimal intrusion into the driver’s space at 40 mph, meaning injuries would likely not be severe. However, at 50 mph, there was noticeable deformation on the driver’s side of the vehicle, and at 56 mph, the interior of the vehicle was significantly compromised, with crash test dummies registering severe neck injuries and likely lower leg fractures.
You don’t need to be driving at highway speeds to suffer injuries in a car accident. Even low speeds can displace the bones in your spine and cause back or neck pain.
According to GSU’s HyperPhysics Project, a 180-pound person in a car traveling 30 mph that stops suddenly when it hits something experiences 2.7 tons – more than 5400 pounds – of force on their body! And that’s assuming they were wearing a seatbelt. As you can imagine, those kinds of forces can cause any number of painful injuries.
