HANS Safety, short for Head and Neck Support, is a pivotal safety innovation in motorsports. The HANS device is a carbon-fiber, U-shaped structure worn by drivers to restrain head movement during high-impact events. It tethers the helmet to the shoulders, reducing the risk of basilar skull fractures and neck injuries. Introduced by Dr. Robert Hubbard and Jim Downing, HANS Safety significantly enhances driver safety in racing, preventing the head from excessive forward movement during crashes. Widely adopted in various racing series globally, the HANS device has become a standard safety feature, playing a crucial role in minimizing the severity of head and neck injuries.
