Hi again!
N/M my previous question about the HANS clips on new helmets--I did not
realize the number and differing types of head and neck restraints out
there!
I am also looking into a head & neck restraint device and was curious about
what seems to be working for folks out there. I tried a fellow racer's
HANS on at an event, and it was pretty comfortable but seemed a little
limiting, plus I have also seen reports that say the HANS can slip out
from under belts in an extreme event. There is something out there called
the ISAAC that says their product keeps that from happening, but it looked
a little gadgety to me. Simpson has a model that works with straps, and
G-Force has one that attaches a cable to the back of the helmet and has a
strap that slides on the cable for range of motion. That one looked a
little hokey to me, but I have not tried it.
What do you folks recommend, and why? Of course I am interested in my
safety (I just read an article in Reader's Digest about a guy who was
"internally decapitated" in a street-car crah, gah!), but I don't want to
spend gobs of money if there is an effective system out there for less.
Thanks again!
Keep Triumphing,
Susan :)
