| Description of the problem | While completely stopped in interstate traffic, i was rear ended by another vehicle. The driver was traveling approximately 55-60 mph before he slammed on his brakes. Upon the collision, the driver's seat i was sitting in slid backwards on the adjustable seat track towards the rear of the vehicle and my seat fully reclined. After the collision, my seat was fully reclined and i was laying down in my seat. While i received no further injuries because of this incident, had a passenger been sitting behind me (particularly a child in a child restraint), they would have been more severely injured by my seat sliding backwards and reclining. |
