I've never heard abour rear-facing seats being safer befofe.
What makes it safer? Do you have any references? It sounds interesting.
Is it because if you crash, your back absorbs the impact better?
- mikeash 9y agoI think that's basically right. The worst crashes are usually frontal, and your entire body is evenly supported, rather than hanging on a seat belt or something. Rear-facing seats are definitely not illegal in cars. Tesla has them as an option for a third row in the Model S. I think they would be legal in airplanes too, and the main reason they don't see more use is just that people are often uncomfortable not facing the direction they're going.
