Nolan White had damage to his neck that resulted in his death. I don't
know that the HANS device would have saved him but It sure couldn't
have hurt to have one in place. The head is a big weight attached to a
small spinal column.
Seth Hammond broke a vertebra in his neck when he went over at 320 and
was very fortunate that he wasn't more seriously injured. I wonder
what a HANS device would have done for him.
You don't have to hit a wall to stop fast. Some of those salt stops
are very abrupt.
