I WAS RECENTLY IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH I WAS REAR ENDED BY A BUS. AT THE INSTANT THAT THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED MY AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND MY DRIVERS SEAT COLLAPSED BACKWARDS. AFTER THE ACCIDENT I LOOKED AT THE SEAT AND SAW THAT THE HINGES THAT HOLD THE CUSHION AND SEATBACK TOGETHER BOTH SNAPPED CAUSING THE SEAT TO COLLAPSE BACKWARDS. IT IS A GOOD THING NO ONE WAS SITTING BEHIND ME AS THEIR LEGS WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED. *TR
