With frontal air bags that come from the steering wheel you have a big head whip backwards. To prevent whiplash we need a rear activated air bag behind the driver to sandwhich the person to stop all extreme body movements that could cause injury or unforseen injuries to other parts of the body. It would be mounted in the seat and activate at the same time as the steering wheel air bag or perfectly timed to go off when it is precisely needed for protection.

Did you research this one? Haven't make personal contact with an airbag myself yet, but from what I've heard, they don't whip your head back like a trampoline. Their purpose is to absorb most if not all of the movement - if true, a rear airbag won't be needed.

What about being Rear Ended. In other words the front Air Bag does nothing for hits from behind. A rear Air Bag prevents Whiplash doesn't it? So, it is needed by everyone in the car just as much as a front Air Bag.
