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 would be happy to answer any questions any one has about using the HANS® device by phone or e mail. We just received SFI approval and are the only head & neck restraint to date to have passed all the SFI's testing The Issac seems like a good idea in theory but a) has to disconnected from the belts or helmet before exiting the car (difficult if driver is not coherent) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) has steel rods that are in a dangerous position in relation to the head. I can provide any of the members with independent third party test data and product comparrisons with some of the other devices on the market. The standard model sells for $865 and comes with helmet anchors, tethers and padding, everything you need to go racing. The only time we see problems with the belts "slipping off" is because of incorrect shoulder harness mpunting (belts mounted too far apart behind the driver. The HANS® is the only device used in F1, Champ Car, IRL. Next year NASCAR will most likely mandate SFI 38.1 head & neck restraints and unless someone else comes up with a device that can meet these specs, the HANS® will be the only head & neck restraint used in all professional NASCAR classes.
