But what we've seen is that, even though the HANS is on, you need good side-to-side restraints. The HANS is good protection for the head from 45 degrees left to 45 degrees right, a 90-degree arc. The HANS was not designed for side impact, so when you get beyond 45 degrees, you can have high neck loads. |
One of the things I'd like to see is drivers doing more practice getting out of the cars. Maybe we could set up a competition, like the pit-crew competition, as incentive. |
The seats are a world of difference. |
