Objective: This study involved a number of different tests addressing theories for recliner and track release of front seats in rear impacts. It addresses the validity of the theories.Method: Several separate test series were conducted to address claims made about recliner and track release of front seats in rear impacts. The following theories were evaluated to see the validity of the issues:Results: Many of the theories were found to be uncorroborated once actual test data was available to judge the merits of the issue raised. The laboratory tests were set-up to specifically address particular issues. The test data and photos document the findings.Conclusion: The data and photos provided here demonstrate the reasonableness of the recliner and track systems used in modern seats. The testing reported here addressed issues raised and provides test data on the theories.
