Description
The HANS III 30 Degree presents the third generation of injection moulded HANS devices.
Using an all-new design and polymer, the device features a hollow collar that substantially minimizes weight.
Engineered reinforcements ensure an exceptionally strong structure that provides the same level of safety as every HANS device. The reduced mass guarantees the lightest and most comfortable injection moulded HANS ever.
HANS III 30 Degree Features –
- FIA 8858-2010 homologated
- Great value
- Supplied with sliding tethers.
- Injection moulded super structural carbon fiber.
- Lower back with radius corners for easier access into tighter spaces
- Same high-level performance as all HANS Device models
- Weighs 760 grams, (MEDIUM)
- Available in 30 Degree, most suited to a reclined/laid back driving position.
- Sizes Medium & Large
- Anchor posts not included.
Manufactured of carbon fiber reinforced polymer, the HANS III is shaped like a “U”. The back of the “U” sits behind the nape of the neck. Two arms lie flat along the top of the chest over the pectoral muscles. It attaches to the helmet, not to the belts, the driver’s body, or the seat. The helmet attaches to the device via an anchor on each side. In a properly installed 5- or 6-point racing harness, the belts that cross the driver’s upper body pass directly over the HANS device and buckle at the center of the driver’s abdomen. Therefore the HANS device secures to the body of the driver, not the seat.
The purpose of the HANS device is to keep the head from whipping in a crash. This prevents excessive rotational movement without restricting movement of the neck. This allows the wearer’s head to move normally but prevent or restrict head movements that exceed the normal articulation range of the musculoskeletal system. Movement that would exceed the normal articulation range of the musculoskeletal system.
In a crash the body is decelerated by the harness. The head maintains velocity until decelerated by the neck. HANS devices maintain the position of the head relative to the body. The Device transfers energy to the chest, torso, shoulder, seat belts, and seat as the head is decelerated.
