HANS

HANS, an acronym for Head and Neck Support, is a vital safety device used in motorsports to protect drivers from head and neck injuries. The HANS device was pioneered by Dr. Robert Hubbard and Jim Downing and has become a standard feature in professional racing disciplines worldwide. The HANS device is worn by drivers and acts as a vital link between the helmet and the torso. It effectively limits the movement of the head and neck during an impact, reducing the risk of severe injuries such as basilar skull fractures and whiplash. The HANS device typically consists of a carbon fiber or composite collar that sits on the driver's shoulders and is connected to the helmet by tethers. By transferring the forces generated during an accident away from the head and neck, the HANS device significantly reduces the likelihood of life-threatening injuries. The HANS device has revolutionized motorsports safety and is now widely recognized as an indispensable tool for driver protection in high-speed racing events.
