HANS - who's got one ?

General General Lotus Talk
1

Watched the Horizon programme on car crashes and it scared me (a bit)
As a result I am seriously considering a HANS device
My only concern is using it correctly (and having to buy a new fookin helmet) :angry:
I’ve heard and read that the positioning of the harnesses on the HANS device is critical and if not positioned correctly you can make things worse & I don’t have a team of monkeys to strap me into the car
How is anyone getting on with using it themselves ???

Hans is a trade name and the correct name for these devices now is Frontal Head Restraint (FHR). There are several different brands available now and correct fitting is essential.
