ABSTRACT:
A vandal proof and inexpensive crash pad for a transportation vehicle seat is provided that meets Department of Transportation Head Injury Criterion. The crash pad is designed for use on a vehicle seat having a rigid rail frame. A seat back formed of a sheet of flexible material having a high surface hardness is mounted on the rigid rail frame. The top portion of the seat back includes an integrally formed flexible energy absorbing bubble. The energy absorbing bubble extends substantially the length of the seat back and is disposed at the top of the seat back for cushioning the impact of a passenger's head during an impact or rapid maneuver. The energy absorbing bubble can encompass a flexible energy absorbing brace, having an L-shaped cross section, that is cantilevered from the rigid rail frame.
