You can take your chances that you won't hurt your Back or Neck in a

reduce the risk. There is NO REASON NOT TO. Besides being
comfortable and Reducing Vertical Down Impact, it puts Compressible
Space between your Butt and a Driveline or Rear that gets slammed
into the bottom of the seat. The CRASH PAD is the Least Expensive
way to put vertical impact material in your seat. Plus, it is the
material that tested BEST by the US Military to reduce Spinal
Compression Impact. Stuff Happens... no matter the size or type of
