Abstract
Backrests of a rear seat bench for an estate car which are asymmetrically divided in two can experience pronounced bending in the travel direction in the larger backrest part in the event of frontal impact. This bending can endanger the safety of people sitting on the rear seat bench. To prevent this, one energy absorber is arranged in the region of the at least two closure arrangements, between the frame of the larger backrest part and the housing profile.
