WHIPLASH: It doesn’t take a serious accident to cause serious damage. : How bad an accident does it take to actually cause whiplash? : While most people think of whiplash only as the result of a rear end collision, it can occur as a result of a fall or other sudden jolt. In car collisions, speeds as low as 5 MPH (a brisk walk) have caused whiplash.
