The human head weighs about 5kg, however, as the neck bends forward the weight and pressure on the cervical spine increases. At an angle of 15 degrees, it's the equivalent of 12kg, 30 degrees it's 18kg, 22kg at 40 degrees, and at 60 degrees, a huge 27kg.
An average user is putting the the same pressure on their spine, as carrying an eight year old child for 700-1400 hours per year!
