Abstract
A vehicle seat has a seat part and a backrest adjustable in inclination relative to the seat part. The backrest is configured in two parts, a top backrest part and a bottom backrest part. The top backrest part is arranged pivotally relative to the bottom backrest part, when the holding force of a clamping device is overcome in the case of a crash under the effect of an actuating force coming from the person in the seat. The top backrest part executes an adjustment movement intercepting the person in the seat. The vehicle seat improves the safety and security of the seat occupant upon a frontal crash or rear crash.
