HANS device in drifting

[s13-ste]

keep seeing this convo popping up on DW alot over the last few weeks.

IMO a neck brace is a must but HANS is overkill. it would just restrict head movement too much meaning shallower lines and less drivers trying full on spastic entries.

whats drivers thoughts?

[Tekno Twinky]

such shite.. by all means safety 1st blah

[Stevo]

They cost sum fookin money!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[s13-ste]

cost has to be a mega factor too. they can be got for $500 these days but then your lid has to have the posts on it or have some added on.

$5-700 goes along way on a drift car

load of cock! was anyone ever killed or really badly hurt driving a drift car on a track?

[yowdy]

a total load of cock,, i truly think, cage, good fitting seat,, harness, and neck brace along wid good helmet is plenty

Neck braces can be a bit hit and miss. if you hit something really hard the leverage between your helmet and the neck brace can extend your neck causing damage. In drifting there isnt the same speeds as rallying/F1/Nascar remember,them guy have to worry about hitting trees or walls at anywhere frm 140-220mph.and theres much less chance of hitting something head-on in a driftcar,so a seat with side braces on it would do the job.
