Abstract
Projections capable of crushing a rear windowpane upon crash of a vehicle are arranged on a back of a stay embedded in a pad of a headrest. Thus, when the headrest strongly hits the rear windowpane upon crash of the vehicle, the rear windowpane is crushed by the projections in the form of metal pieces on upper rear portions of vertical stay portions of the stay, so that great impact is prevented from being applied on a head of an occupant.
