[Land-speed] Hans Device and Safety

[Joe Timney]

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.
