HANS Recommendations
I know about zero on this subject other than a HANS type device is something most of us HPDE guys (and gals) ought to consider (in a addition to a good helmet). Basically from what I understand this can be the difference between walking away from an incident and never walking again (or worse). I'd rather skip a few track days and save up a bit to make sure that I'm protected.
Are there any of these type of devices that can be used with stock seats and seatbelts? Yes, I realize it's probably a good idea to get a 4 or 5 point belt, a proper "racing" seat, and possibly a cage. But for those of us who don't want to turn our cars into "track only" machines, or who need to approach things a bit stepwise (budget, track/street use of car, etc.), what options are there? Ideally I'd like something that provides HANS type protection with the stock seat/belts and which could also be used if/when I upgrade those components. But if that's not possible, then what are the requirements?
Recommendations and input would be appreciated!
