correct me if im wrong,
But doesnt a hans device only limit the distance your head can go forward and backward? so without one your neck would be thrown forward to your chest with inertia, causing damage to your neck. But the hans device would transfer the inertia through your shoulders and onto your harness. So the deceleration of the car would have to be pretty huge, as in massive impact to a wall, for it to work at its best.
thats right, but most cars (even the mighty supersprint ones) are capable of hitting walls at over 100 kmh which would slow you down pretty quickly and would hurt a fair bit id say
The HANS is to protect you from a 300kph crash. (Like NASCAR or IRL on an oval.) If you want to run one in your VW that is OK with me but don't try to enforce silly rules on everyone when the science does not agree with it.
