LoL. Hey question though. Why is getting rid of headrests in the back considered safety issue? Do
we have whiplash head restraint system? I don't think that we do... right? Anyway, get back! TIA

If you get rear-ended without a headrest, you get major whiplash (m)
I find it amazing that many American cars still don't have rear headrests, or the headrests that ARE there are barely adequate - even on brand new models (think '02 ford explorer - pathetic headrests). It seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Well, depending on your interperetation, a whiplash head restraint system is basically a headrest. But, if you are talking about the automated systems such as WHIPS in Volvos or SAHR in Saabs, no we don't have one. I don't know how effective those are, but they look promising. It would be nice if Audi were to add a system like that.
It's only a safety hazard to remove the headrests if there are people sitting in the back (adult-sized, not kids who can't even hit the headrest with their heads).
