Yes it's finally been proven, recent medical research has found that using a Weight Distribution Hitch on your rig can be bad for your health.
Apparently the firmer unforgiving ride experienced when using a WDH causes a kind of ''whiplash'' motion that over time develops into a chronic fatigue injury of the neck.
The only way that this syndrome can be avoided is by wearing a neck support similar to the one illustrated at all times while towing.
Neck braces do not have to be worn on April 1st of every year however.
