What is lowest speed of crash you get whiplash?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: I have seen neck injury from low speed accidents, about 5-7 mph. There are too many variables to sort out, such as the restraint devices, size of the vehicles, positioning at time of impact, etc. I think often these issues wind up in courtrooms, not in scientific research.
