Car accidents 

The term “whiplash” found its way into our vocabulary during the late 1920s. Prior to that, the expression “railway spine” adequately depicted a similar injury common to passengers involved in train derailments. The phrase “whiplash injury” defines damage to the bone structure and soft tissues, while “whiplash-associated disorders” speaks to more acute and chronic disorder. Whiplash injuries are serious and need to be taken as such. Because the symptoms of can take weeks and even months to manifest, it is easy to erroneously assume you’ve escaped injury, when in reality, the reverse is true.
