I can't wait to try out the 20 lb helmet and have my head strapped to the cage.

I think I'm gonna install my spare set of Konis and Eibach springs for more head and neck protection!

Oh My!

It's not a patent yet, just a published application.
Either way ...

Probably a good idea, but I need to be comfortable in the cockpit.

Looking at the "helmet" why do I get the impression the prototype was a bucket. All it is missing is the handle.

I emailed Gregg Baker at ISAAC to come see this one. I'm sure he'll have some interesting observations.

Look at the filing date. It appears someone was just a bit too eager to cash in on the safety concerns brought about after Dale Earnhardt's death.

Oh look, his name and address.

We should all write him and let him know that there is a HUGE amount of interest in his invention. He needs to go into production immediately (at huge personal expense.)

Idiots should be punished.

part #31 should give you a nice case of reverse whiplash in the event of a frontal accident.. it will tension and then snap your head back into the seat with probibly more force than the intial accident exerted on your neck in the first place

ABSTRACT
a head restraint device is provided for vehicle drivers and the like. The device allows the head to turn from side to side but restricts the forward and rearward movement as may occur during an abrupt stop while traveling at a high velocity. Cables are slidably(?) affixed to the passanger compartment frame and resiillient members dampen sudden forward or rearward head movement during vehicle impact.
