HANS Device

[Sean McInerney]

I unfortunaetly had the pleasure of experiencing the effectiveness of the HANS Device at the weekend at Snetterton. The impact of the accident was square on, which meant that the only thing stopping my head from hyper-extension, was the HANS. This was the first time i had worn the thing, and almost did'nt wear it due to it not being the most comfortable of things to get used to, but i emplor all of you who are racing to seriously consider wearing one from this point on. Don't get me wrong, i still had a stiff neck, but it severly reduced the movement of my neck. It's not cheap to buy, but money can't replace what it can potentially save. Doas anyone feel that it should become a compulsory item in club racing?
