Safety seat and belt question?

Almost seems like the HANS or belt need an anti slip material.

I decided to jump to my garage and strapped in to my car with my helmet and HANS device. Try this, first make sure your lap belt and crotch strap is tightened. Then slip on your hans and helmet and tension up your shoulder belts.

Sit as tall as you can in the seat literally pushing your shoulders up against the belts. Then use your helmet and push hard back against your seat compressing the Hans device in the process. You will feel the HANS device being push up over your shoulders. Now while maintaining the pressure with your helmet and your shoulders tighten belts as hard as you can.

Any better?

2103 NISMO
Sparco Evo Seats
4 point roll cage
6 point Safecraft belts
Necksgen device

Cage, seats, belts done at Winding Road in Austin...great shop.

Juliann, my installer, said there is supposed to be a certain downward angle from the seat back slots to the belt attaching on the cross brace. I'm 6'2", so have to take the padding out of the seat bottom when I have my helmet on. But once strapped in with my Necksgen device I have very little forward or side head movement. Hope pics show. I did some research before deciding on a permanent roll cage set up. Can't say it was scientific, but seemed to be the safest alternative when using a Hans or Necksgen device. Also, the top bar is back far enough I don't worry about contacting it when I'm not wearing a helmet. Hope the pics that follow show the set up.

How is the Necksgen in terms of side-impact protection? I have a Hybrid, but I'm looking at the Sparco Ergo for Halo protection.

Ban25,

The literature on the Necksgen says it offers the same features as the HANS device to include side protection. I honestly don't know what is considered acceptable side protection. I do know it's quite comfortable to wear and easy to exit my car with it still attached to my helmet. The guys at Windong Road in Austin recommended it and said they are getting good feedback from other users. It does advertise side to side movement, but when I'm strapped in tight, I have limited side movement. I can view my left side mirror but not my riight side mirror.

I think fire safety is important even in HPDE. Although I am NOT saying that a fire suit is a absolute necessity. You just want to make sure that you can survive a couple seconds of flash fire giving you a chance of getting out of the car.

I wear a traqgear podium long sleeve shirt, nomex balaclava, denim jeans, nomex gloves, nomex socks, and SFI rated shoes.
