A head impact criteria (HIC) device (200) for a controlling a breakover rate of a seatback (110) of an aircraft seat (100), and a method of manufacturing (300) the same, are disclosed. A first energy absorbing member (210) is coupled to the seatback of the aircraft seat. A second energy absorbing member (220) is coupled to a frame (120) of the aircraft seat. A fuse link (230) is encapsulated by the first energy absorbing member and the second energy absorbing member. In response to the HIC device being subjected to a threshold load associated with a dynamic event, the fuse link breaks and the first energy absorbing member and the second energy absorbing member rotate around the axis (240).
