isnt that how dale earnhardt died, because he didnt have the haunz devise on or w.e. its called and he hit dead on to the wall and the impact snapped his neck, im not 100% sure of that but thats what i heard

 

dale earnhardt died? when the hell was this[&:]

 

2001 CNN

"Earnhardt, 49, remained the only driver on the circuit still wearing an open-face helmet. He also declined to wear the HANS device (Head and Neck Support), which was designed to reduce head and neck injuries."

 

yeah, but how many times are you going to be traveling that fast? especially on the street?

 

actually a brace to the harness he had snapped and he went face forward into the steering wheel i believe. but the hans device does do wonders, there isa new one out thats supposed to help in side collisions as well.
