Wow. I'm really glad I asked. I had no idea that the ugly political aspect had reared it's head.
It's a shame that a decision like this has to be influence by crap like that.
Does anyone know for sure when this proposed SFI rating rule regarding these H&N restraints will go into effect? (or even if it will?)
I like the idea of the lateral neck support (my impression is that it's better than HANS at that??) because I do agree, I'm far more likely to generate G forces in a sideways hit than I will in a head on impact......after all, I am in ITC..
But we can't afford 2 devices each, as one poster suggested.
I am honestly not sure that a HANS will fit easily against the seatback of my car. I don't seem to have a lot of room there. I guess I will have to try our friends and see.
To be honest, I haven't even really considered any of the other devices. I need to get some time to go through the list that was provided earlier in the thread. (hey! I'll do it at work! That's what work's for anyway, right? )
Are any of them also going to be 'not legal'?
