HANS Devices and seat belts
Right, here it is from the horse's mouth. I've received a communication from Stand 21 and it includes the info below about what belts to use with a HANS device. Other FHRs are available and it may not apply to them!
NOTE: THE HANS DEVICES YOU CAN USE 3” OR 2” BELTS. THE GAP ON THE HANS DEVICE ACTUALLY FITS 2” BELT HOWEVER WE RECOMMEND USING 3” BELT. EVEN THOUGH IT WILL OVER THE AREA FOR THE BELT ON THE HANS DEVICES THEY ARE ACTUALLY BETTER AS IT KEEPS THE HANS DEVICE MORE SECURE AND IN PLACE AND BALANCES OUT THE WEIGHT MORE!
So there you have, manufacturer recommends 3" belts not the 2" that are on the market.
Hope this helps.
