Having used about all the restraints, and I mean using them, I get the feeling that everything but the old donut, whatever you want to call it, is about as effective as anything has come out of all this, most guys you see with a HANS device, wears it so loose, they can turn their head like an owl, the super duper seat restraints are so rigid, I don't feel safe, you have very little movement at all, it makes you the "target", so to speak, probably the most rigid parts in a race car, and the driver is tied to this, my feelings are that a lot of "safety mandated stuff", I wouldn't want my name signed to it, the "donut", was a PITA, but at least you had some movement, and you were still protected by your helmet, and it was supported by the donut, resting on your clavicles, not being clamped in a vise. JMHO! Bob
