I too have been wondering about motorcycle rider protection.  Rule 
3.A.3 requires a "helmet support"  (neck collar) where lateral head 
movement is 4" or more from side to side.  Many drivers with less 
movement wear the collar anyway.  The strap that holds a HANS device to 
the helmet snaps in place on the few I have seen.  I wonder how that 
connector, or better ones I have yet to see, holds up under such severe 
stresses.  Someone on this forum must know.
