umugozi wumutekano nigikoresho cyumutekano gikoreshwa mukurinda hose cyangwa umugozi kunyeganyega mugihe habaye hose cyangwa gutsindwa. Ubusanzwe ikoreshwa mubikorwa byinganda aho imiyoboro yumuvuduko mwinshi cyangwa insinga zikoreshwa, nka sisitemu yo mu kirere ifunitse cyangwa ibikoresho bya hydraulic. Intsinga z'umutekano wikiboko zigizwe numuyoboro ukomeye wicyuma uhujwe na hose cyangwa umugozi kuruhande rumwe kandi ugashyirwa kumashini cyangwa ibikoresho kurundi ruhande. Niba amashanyarazi cyangwa ibikwiye byananiranye cyangwa bigahagarikwa, insinga zo gukubita birinda "gukubita" cyangwa guhindukira ngo bigenzurwe, bigabanya ibyago byo gukomeretsa abakozi bari hafi cyangwa kwangiza ibikoresho bikikije. Intsinga z'umutekano za Whipcheck zagenewe guhinduka kandi zishobora guhangana n’imiterere n’ibihe bikabije. Ni ngombwa kugenzura buri gihe no gusimbuza insinga za whiplash zerekana ibimenyetso byo kwambara cyangwa kwangirika kugirango zikore neza kandi zibungabunge umutekano muke.
