The Simpson & Hans devices are made to prevent the head from going forward during impact (Earnhardt)which is the issue in an auto frontal type crash since the body is restrained by the seat belts, there are NO belts in a kart seat, the entire body can move forward in a kart frontal crash, the issue in karts is to keep the head from over-extending backwards since there NO roll cages on the kart, think about it , there is NO pushing or pulling with either device, my son has used the 360 device in his karting days and now uses his Hans in SCCA

[jeff grose]

[quote quote=4681]I don’t follow why you think the Simpson device isn’t a good fit for karting. The reason a standard HANS device won’t work on a kart is that you need shoulder straps to hold it in place to work properly. This Simpson thing doesn’t need those shoulder straps. If you couple this with a collar, I feel like you’d be covering every base. Unfortunately, it’s DAMN expensive.[/quote]

When my son ran in Karting he used the Vahalla 360 device and although he had no bad accidents when karting we felt better using the 360 device as opposed to the regular foam collar, we did see a karter at the Homestead track wearing a leatt type neck protector take a hit and we saw his head go alot further back than we expected with that device on. My son had no issues while wearing the 360 device in terms as being able to turn his head while racing.
