I think the locking seat backs are to keep the passenger in the rear 
from crashing into/through you.

The seat back doesn't weigh much, but the 120-220 pounder in the back...

And it's not the braking that's the issue - it is the deceleration that 
happens when the car hits something and goes from 30-0 in the 2 1/2 feet 
of crush distance!
