I know butlerbuilt added 3 stage foam to their headrest a few years ago. Long before Dixons indycar issue. The seats and other safety equipment have come a long way. Racing will NEVER be safe. Its just how the sport works. Its sad, but its true.

There in lies the rub,
"Think will help". Thats the issue I take with things being mandated without,
"knowing". With firesuits, people like Mr Simpson proved with conclusive evidence that his firesuits WOULD protect and not HARM. With FC seats a lot of it is well meant and it does contain and support the driver very well. But look at a HANS device, it allows the head to move, but in a limited motion. Brain injuries are different. All I'm saying is more is to be learned before mandating FC seats.
