I see nothing in the first post - did I miss all the fun?

Same here, OP deleted or edited his posts. Lol. But I gathered enough info from quoted posts to piece things together.

Look at post 12. The whole first post was quoted in its entirety for historical purposes.

I actually wondered about this subject, as my 08 Charger and 2014 ram have the same angle and it doesn't actually look or feel right. I thought that if I ever got rear ended my neck would be folded down, chin towards neck and well, FOR ME that might be bad. I kinda left it alone, as I had my neck fused at C5/6 and some angles are now impossible, others are uncomfortable. In another words I thought it was just me so WTF , right?

I got rear-ended last Sept in my charger, I was stopped in traffic. Range rover hit me doing about 25 mph OUCH

I distinctly remember the car moving forward WITHOUT me. I was being pushed into the seat.

Guess what?

I didn't die or break my neck.

I was sore the next day, upper back and neck. seemed normal for what happened

I am pretty satisfied that the engineers know what they are doing, IRT this issue and although I think It does look a little dumb, Its built that way for a reason.

Alright, I know I'm old, and I hate to be that guy, but I think I have a solution for this problem. I agree someone need to test this theory out so I thought about doing some crash test with LIVE test dummies. There seems to be plenty of these dummies available in Washington DC---it's called CONGRESS! Just my idea----

I nominate a certain presidential candidate that lost..

I nominate the Presidential Candidate, that won, and all current members of both Houses too.

Can we verify the results, with further testing, using sitting Governors?

I apologize for knocking this thread off track. I must have too much time on my hands----I still think it's a good idea though.

The manufacturers really should intentionally crash some of these vehicles to see what happens to occupants. Maybe a government agency could even standardize these tests so you could compare one vehicle against another. That would keep us from having to slam ourselves into the seats to make sure they're safe.

Manufacturers do, and government already does.

One does not simply "meter" sarcasm.

This is true

Snowflakes????

It's the Russians. They designed the headrest to take us out one accident at a time.

I seriously hate these push forward head rests. I have to tilt my backrest to the "gangsta" position so that my head isn't constantly bouncing off the damn head rest, then I have no support for my back. In addition, my passengers get pissed because now my backrest is their forward knee support.

We should start a "stop being gangsta" drive so that manufacturers will go back to designing headrests for normal people that like to sit upright when driving.

Don't worry Trump will "make headrests great again!!!"
