Every ticket to EVERY motor sport event that I have attended in my 70 years of spectating has had the following warning: *MOTOR RACING IS DANGEROUS* On ALL the entry forms that I have filled in as a competitor the SAME warning is to be found. In the case of this young woman, I personally feel that the organizers / promoters FAILED in that they DID NOT INSIST that ALL the drivers HAD TO WEAR A HANS DEVICE. Yes, they are expensive BUT what is the price to be put on this young woman's life? It was a failure to force the party driving to wear the appropriate safety equipment and that is inexcusable. My opinion - many may differ...

@@extragoogleaccount6061 For the top tier Hans devices they can be custom shaped. Most of them are standard sizes, like the helmets. Proper driving experiences have multiple sizes and layback angles to them. So they can test it with each person to get them comfortable. The last thing you want to do with a device like that is add foam or anything else to the device unless it's specifically said by the manufacture that it's approved in the correct place. Doing so can cause the device to not work properly if at all. One nice thing about Zamp head & neck restraints are they are cheaper $240-370 and are adjustable. Although It takes a little while to adjust it properly and if not adjusted properly it can become ineffective.

But things happen and like life, you can never 100% guarantee anything.

Well, in the case of blunt-end crashes such as the instructor, this simply should never happen, for obvious reasons. Also, many tracks mimic crash devices as used by the DOT on our freeways because they have been designed, tested, and proven to save lives. However, the DOT crash protection applications also take into consideration the automobile design standards that must be met in order to legally drive on our highways. It takes into consideration the surrounding conditions (speed limit, side slopes, daily traffic count, clear area, structures, etc.) and risk/benefit analysis data. For example, the concrete J-barrier we see every day is designed (via the shape) to repel vehicles that strike it, prevent rollovers, and stop deadly head-on collisions in most freeway situations by using a solid wall. Now, take away the DOT requirements for crumple zones, fenders, bumper height, tire width, speed limit, weight restrictions, road width, etc., and the device is in unproven territory. In the case of plate beam guardrail, it is designed to absorb the energy from vehicles that have strayed from the road. It also repels most traffic, but in cases of extreme speed, angle of attack or weight of vehicle (tractor trailer), it slows the vehicle progressively while absorbing the vehicle's energy before failure occurs resulting in fewer casualties and less damage to property. The spacing of plates and posts also prevents the snagging of vehicle parts. Even the large yellow sand-filled barrels have different quantities and patterns of placement depending on the surrounding conditions. So, this said, a track that uses the same devises in entirely different applications than they were designed will have problems. A race car striking a three-plate beam guardrail with triple the number of posts will result in less repairs but more injuries. And, stating that a HANS device 'would have' or 'has' saved lives means nothing without supporting data. NASCAR implemented so many safety rules after Dale's death that there is really no way of knowing what actually works and what doesn't. Do the seat's side head restraints prevent injuries or cause them by weakening the driver's neck muscles and taking away the driver's vision? Does the HANS device channel more of the impact energy into the brain, causing debilitating concussions? Is a more rigid construction of the car really better protection or does it harm the drivers?

I went out with the "Mario Andretti and Jeff Gordon Driving Experience". In the driver's meeting, they stressed in no uncertain terms that we should never touch the locking ring on the steering wheel, or the wheel could come off and we could have a fatal accident. Then after being belted into the IndyCar trainer, their CHIEF MECHANIC put the steering wheel on, but didn't make sure the locking ring was clicked into its detent. I noticed this and pointed it out to their Chief Mechanic. He didn't acknowledge his mistake, just pulled the ring and clicked the wheel into the right place on the shaft. After ALL THAT CAUTIONING in the driver's meeting, this bozo was going to send me out at 185 mph on the high banked oval of California Speedway with a loose steering wheel. Unbelievable incompetence. Incredibly unprofessional staff. Just an accident waiting to happen. The left rear tire blew, but since we're making all left hand turns, I did not hit the wall. (Whew!) Later that day in another car, I did max out at 185 mph, the fastest of any participant, and the fastest that car would go. So then the engine blew! Oil sprayed out on the track. Their same CHIEF MECHANIC blamed ME for the engine blowing! That INDYCAR trainer is a one-speed car- you cant shift it, there's nothing the driver can do to harm the engine. Except drive it at the limit, and if it breaks, that's the fault of the equipment or their maintenance, not the driver. Might have starved for oil on the high banked turns. Most participants pussy-foot around at much slower speeds, so the cars aren't that stressed. Chief Mechanic was an idiot in charge of mayhem. They should have called it the "Mario Andretti + Jeff Gordon Fatal Accident Waiting to Happen Driving Experience"

Nothing in this world is 100% safe. There is some risk of injury or death when doing such experiences (and why that is stated on the forms). Was the risk extreme? In my opinion, no. Basilar skull fractures are uncommon in head trauma cases, and it does depend on the speed of the crash, and the structure of the victim. Anything to prevent violent movement of the head should work (a head strap with a snug 5-point, or the HANS device). I just wonder if the HANS device is a one size fits all, and if it might preclude other situations... I know that was the bogus claim of drivers before Dale's crash, but with regular people.

Zamp said without a doubt If I didn't have a head & neck restraint on I'd easily died from a basilar skull fracture.

All HANS devices are custom fitted to the driver, as a badly fitted one can cause more problems than they solve. While other neck support systems are available, AFAIK, they all need custom fitting to be truly effective and not cause other problems - restricted breathing & bloodflow, pinched nerves, etc.
