HANS Device, Who's using one? Options

[nine14cats]

I'm thinking of buying a HANS Device for the track.

Anyone using one? How does it feel when in the car? How restrictive?

Thanks,

I plan on getting some sort of head/neck system. I want the HANS, but I often find myself riding shotgun in a students car, often with just 3 point harnesses, the HANS doesnt work in this application.

I generally hope I keep my students in line and am helpfull to them as they learn to drive on a racetrack....but I have one off at about 70 mph where we hit the tirewall, its quite a helpless feeling as you are sliding towards something and have no control over your destiny... and you were the not one controlling the car when control was lost (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Which is why I want a head and neck restraint system that works while I instruct.

The Hutchens device, and the Simpson system look promising..

I have an interesting comparison of the various Head/Neck systems in *.pdf format..

can we upload them here?
