Why wear a HANS system?

Almost all deaths in racing accidents are due to head and neck injuries. In the event of 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.
Consequently, in the event of a frontal impact, the head will fly forward at great 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.
