seems to me, unless you're wearing a HANS device, if you get rear ended, your head will go backwards, not forwards...

Unless you are wearing a HANS device attached to a helmet, your head goes both directions. When your head goes backwards your brain bounces off the front of your skull as it is sitting in fluid and then it bounces towards the back of your skull and makes contact. Of course as the brain is flying back and forth there are a lot of neurons that have the axions torn or damaged as they are not exactly rubber bands. Then there is that little whiplash thing happening with your neck and spinal column.
