Does Joe have pictures or diagrams of the different Hans Devices and
their application? The right one might help in my case but proper
installation/use of the 7 point harness and design of the cage to
prevent movement is primary. On the other hand....if the cage is not
tight and the 7 point is not applied correctly, A Hans Device would
be critical to survival in a nose first or side impact. Helmet straps
to the cage could also be effective but they are just something else
to take off for egress.
