I never condoned it I simply pointed out they are very expensive. I am
also familiar with the advice that if you have a cheap head get a cheap
helmet. Any racer in the UK on a budget has to balance risk against budget.
The chances are he won't have a major accident so he doesn't spend anything
from #1000 down to about #400 for a HANS.
Medical care in the UK is free and the average UK racer doesn't think about
a neck injury leading to paralysis. The average UK racer can also look at
the statistics and be reasonably confident that while he might prefer to
have a HANS he is not taking a wild or reckless risk in not having one.
