[Land-speed] Hans Device and Safety

[Skip Higginbotham]

Mike,
My driver's harness is hooked to the roll cage braces and the 
frame......yours is hooked to the seat?????? Should be hooked to the 
frame or crossmember. If all that goes in different directions, no 
amount of safety equipment is going to save you.
