Right Todd. The HANS works in conjuction with your shoulder harness.

That doesn't mean that some sort of head and neck system couldn't be made without a seat belt I suppose.

I think being thrown free is better than being trapped, but you could certainly break your neck either way.

Still...this sort of thing has always been about accepting some risk...hasn't it?
