Be careful when purchasing a HANS system The HANSsystems are available in different 'angles'. These 'angles' (10, 20 or 30 degrees) are determined by the angle at which the back is in relation to the head when sitting in the car. After all, in a formula car the driver is more comfortable and so a 3HANS0◦ system is much better suited than a 2HANS0◦ system that is better for touring cars.

HANSSystems are also available in three different sizes; these are widths (S, M, L). Very important is the latest homologation date of the system you buy.

Why wear a neck system?

Almost all deaths in racing accidents are due to head and neck injuries. In a crash, a pilot's body is held securely in place by his shoulder and pelvic belts. The head is protected from external impulses by the helmet. The weak link is that the head and neck can still move unrestrictedly in all directions. A frontal impact, the head flying forward at high speed. In a full speed accident, the pressure on the back of the head is comparable to the weight of the car! At the end of this forward movement, there is a high risk of neck or skull base fracture. Given the enormous braking force of sports cars, an airbag is not a reliable option. That's why they started looking for a system that is attached to the helmet, and yet allows the driver not to experience any significant inconvenience during the race. The HANS system is a kind of 'harness' that rests on the shoulders and is held in place by the shoulder belts. It is attached to the helmet via two straps. It is precisely these straps that stop the helmet (and therefore the head) at the critical moment in the event of a crash. Sensitive shoulders? Using Exgel's gel pads together with the harness can solve this problem or discomfort, click here for more information.
