Re: Anyone had any experience with the defNder™ Neck Protection device? (First post h
The one that comes to mind is the Australian Supercar (or other down under series) driver early this year that went into the wall and died. I do believe he was wearing a HANS. Death was from a brain bleed I believe. I'll see if I can find the reports on that one.
I'll also check and see if there are any others.
The one thing to note is that the HANS does decrease the neck load in the 30 degree hit. I believe that non restrained tension is 5500 or so and the HANS is at 2000.
