HANS Device

This year the rules for racing have changed in all organizations. All rules are now more strict when it comes to driver safety. This is why I had to install a roll cage, racing seats, racing harnesses, fire system, window netting, and replace my sunroof glass with fiberglass.

I am also required to wear a racing suit, racing gloves, racing shoes, upgraded helmet, and all fire resistant under garments. The final safety item is a HANS device. The HANS device is worn over the driver's shoulders and the harness is placed over it and secured. The HANS device has two clips that fasten to the driver's helmet. The Hans device keeps the driver's head and body together, and prevents severe neck injury in an accident. I am not sure if this is a mandatory safety item in Japan, but it is necessary in almost all racing organizations here in the US.

Hopefully I never need to test this item out!
