As a factory trained Hans dealer, I would strongly advise to not attach
the helmet to the cage. All of the restraint devises allow the helmet to
follow the body forward, the Hans devise slides rearward over your
shoulders as you move forward because of the belt stretch.
I can send you the Hans CD showing what a 5 G hit looks like...it shows
just how far the belts stretch. I couldn't believe how violent it is!!!
In the SFI testing, Hans scored the best...they have the patent (soon to
expire) on the anchor location. The R3 was next...they have a lower
mounting point.
The seat belts stretch so far that you really need to add 2 inches for
upper helmet clearance to keep from injuring your neck from compression.
I'll see if I can lift the video from the disc.
Hope this helps.
