ABSTRACT:
A whiplash protection structure for a vehicle includes a vehicle seat back and an airbag. The vehicle seat back is configured to be mounted in a vehicle in a substantially upright position to support an occupant's back. The air bag is arranged in the seat back to deploy from an uppermost end along an upward deployment path to form a head restraint above the uppermost end of the seat back when inflated upwardly. The seat back can be absent a headrest that projects upwardly. Alternatively, the seat back can include a headrest that projects upwardly with the airbag arranged in the headrest.
