The purpose of the Hybrid device is to keep the head from whipping in a crash. This prevents excessive rotational movement as a secondary protection, without otherwise restricting movement of the neck. This allows the head to move normally but prevents or restricts head movements that would exceed the normal range of the musculoskeletal system and cause severe injury. In any crash the body is decelerated by the harness. The head will maintain velocity until being decelerated by the neck. The device maintains the relative position of the head to the body. This transfers energy to the chest, torso, shoulder, seat belts, and seat as the head is decelerated.
