Where is the least safest place to sit in a car?
Where is the least safest place to sit in a car? But, a recent study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that rear passengers might be in more danger in a head-on car crash than those in the front seat. This is due to a lack of safety protections for those in the back versus the front seat.
Are you safer in the front or back of a car?
There is a common misconception that people are safer in the back seat, but the truth is that rear seat passengers who are not buckled up are more likely to die in a crash. Upon impact, they are often thrown forward into the back of front seats with significant force.
