The aim of the paper was to analyse the injury potential of the occupant in the case where the backrest of the seat had lower value than normal simulating a broken seat for a rear-end collision. The study was conducted using a virtual environment and a multibody model for the occupant. Two test scenarios were taken into account, a rear end collision at 50 km/h with the normal seat and the second where the seat had a lower rigidity value.
