Josh, respectfully disagree. The Isaac happens to be a great example of how the system is failing the user...a poster child, if you will, and it points to the issues with a foundation that exists to create safety standards, yet has internal conflicts of interest.
Read carefully through the 38.1 spec, and tell me it isn't oddly restrictive. If they were primarily interested in load reduction and performance issues, much of the language wouldn't be there.

I just read it this morning. I don't find it oddly-worded at all. Its goal appears to be to describe requirements for a device that A) reduces head/neck motion, with specific test criteria; and B) describes restrictions on build characteristics that would be unsafe (such as materials and mounting to fixed points on the car).
