Skip,
You need to see the video. Fastening the helmet to the cage will break 
your neck. The devise slows the helmet as your body moves forward. It is 
truly unbelievable how far forward you go even if your belts are 
tight...I asked so many questions, I think I was pissing them off.

At the training session, one of the Nascar crash videos they showed was 
1/3 the Earnhardt crash G-force, the driver glanced off the wall, 
completely bending the cheap(non-full containment style) Kirkey right 
shoulder wing straighten out, knocked off the driver's goggles which 
flew out the left window in front of the net.

Send me your address and I'll send the disc to you. It comes with every 
Hans devise.
