It makes you wonder if either the driver is hitting the helmet on the head rest or maybe the helmet pulling down against the face during a forward impact.

Im wondering if its caused at the point the teathers grab on the Hans. The heads moving forward then sudden stoppage.

Just curious and it's interesting obsevation
