Adding to the hijack, any event where you could end up front first into a wall a HANS type device would help. Not compulsory for club or speed events, but maybe for Rally Sprint. $600 for hans plus helmet.

I guess HANS is a good idea, I'm still sceptical as to whether it should be mandatory as has been mentioned. I don't own one, but my helmet has HANS posts. I borrow a Scroth HANS from a friend who does differing events to me. I don't wear it at rallysprint, I weigh up the potential danger against the hassle and comfort and decided not to. I wouldn't bother at RAC either as there's really nothing to hit and the speed is relatively low. Gravel and tarmac rallying I would certainly reccommend it though.

Hmm nothing to hit, concrete barriers, gates (Dave Christian)

He was saying at RAC there's nothing to hit.

Rallysprint there's plenty, especially if you're going faster than you should.

Opps sorry , thought Doug was responding to my post with Rallysprints.

Agreed RAC little chance of hitting something, but most other places...

Find the HANS actually holds me in my seat a bit firmer than without, and if you have one, may as well wear it. (Says I who also has a suit and prefers to wear jeans and a long sleeve shirt at most events, perhaps that should change)
