The tethers are a little snug and it does limit his ability to turn his head, but not too bad. He hated it at first, but now he won't race without it. This year he has taken a couple of nasty hits in Sr. This fits him extremely well inside of a quarter midget. Mid way through 2008, I bought it against my better judgment, but I am so happy that I did. Post by: Griffin Brown Racing on October 01, 2009, 05:10:51 AM If you want to see scary footage of crashes and necks snapping, I have a video that was done by Safety Solutions that makes you really want to pull out the credit card and order one TODAY! It is a one time expense that has a life time positive result! You throw out tires and motors, you can't throw out your child's neck or back and order a replacement! Glad to see people are thinking about safety and looking into the devices. There is always another race on the schedule. There is no price you can put on your child's safety and so what if they don't finish first. Look into a head and neck restraint BEFORE you really wish you had bought one. We all need to take a step back and realize how much we spend on tires and motors to GO FASTER! What about the safety gear? Why is it the last thing we spend money on? Can you put a price tag on your child's neck or back? Not in my book. I remember many times this season I have been at various tracks and handlers brush off a wreck for the simple fact of "they want to race and the kids are fine". It does not take much of an impact for the head to snap at 90 degrees or greater. Title: Re: Head & neck restraint thoughts? Hutchens Device) and yes I rep for them but I am on an Emergency Squad 50-100 hours per week and don't want to ever have to call one for any of our kids! Call me at (440) 227-4945 and I can help your child be safer while racing! Our website is currently having issues! I will explain differences between all of the products we have available to keep our kids safe!. I am a firm believer in the devices (R3, Hybrid, D-Cel. Kids are taking hard hits and we need to be responsible handlers and protect them!
Yes his ribs hurt but from the video, the R3 did what it is supposed to do. That crash took out our motor, rear axle, all the rear radius rods, panyard bars, both rear shocks and left bird cage! He was wearing his R3 Carbon Fiber Unit and raced 3 races later in LT 160.
Actually you can get a Basel Skull Fracture under 30 miles an hour! When we got into the sport a very close friend who had been racing for many years put me onto Safety Solutions Products.Īnyone who has seen my son race recently knows that he has taken some nasty hits at Xenia Miami Valley last year being T-Boned then a car flipping over us and especially the bad hit he took at Columbus at the last Generation Next Race. People thought I was nuts to have him wearing it because "they don't go fast enough especially in novice to need one". A Head and Neck Restraint is something all of us should have for our kids from Rookie all the way to the big cars! My son wore one starting with Novice when we were QMA and he was 7 years old.
