Re: An Open Letter to Skip Barber Regarding HANS devices - Please Vote & Give Feedback

Bob,

Many thanks for sharing your personal experience and heartfelt thoughts regarding the HANS device. Having them available for rental or shared rental could only be a good thing for all involved.

First, it would offer those who don't expect to do a lot of racing an economical way to protect themselves on an individual basis.

Second, it would allow those who are on the fence about purchasing a HANS to try one out for a race weekend and learn first hand how easy they are to wear.

Third, it could be a huge incentive for more drivers to try out and purchase HANS devices if the cost of rental is reasonable (shared or not) and could be applied to the purchase price if they decided to purchase it.

Your suggestion is a terrific idea because it supports drivers to try a HANS device in an economical way that (to my knowledge) has never been done before, and helps them make the decision to invest in one.

I can't see a down side to improving sales at Driving Impressions if that sale involves the rental or sale of a HANS device.

Thanks again,
Pat Daly
