System, a system of protection against automotive

In the WHIPS equipped seat, the entire backrest is designed to help protect the occupant's

According to a Volvo engineer:
The seatback moves together with the occupant in a way that's similar to catching a ball gently, while the head restraint remains rigid to support the neck
WHIPS equipped seats have a piece of metal inside the backrest that absorbs energy in case of rear end collision, reclining the backrest a few centimeters. The metal piece should be replaced after the event
