Driver Safety Systems - Product Details

Hutchens

Head and Neck Restraints are an essential part of the safety system. The number one cause of death in race cars has been head and neck related injuries.  Products like the Safety Solution: “Hutchens Device”, D-cel harness and Simpson Performance’s Head and Neck Restraint are affordable protection against such injuries.  These products have proven their effectiveness in laboratory testing as well as real world accidents.  Because of their proven effectiveness, they have been mandated and/or highly recommended in NASCAR’s touring series, including Winston Cup, IRL, SCCA Pro, Grand AM, ARCA, ASA, WoO, and many local sanctioning bodies and tracks.  The restraint systems limit the amount of load that an occupant sees during an impact.  They do this by restricting the amount of head motion, thus reducing the potential for injury.
The Safety Solutions Head and Neck Device is a restraining system worn by race car drivers to reduce head and neck injuries.  It is a system of straps worn outside of the drivers’ suit, tethers with a quick release mechanism attached to D-rings on the helmet and a positive anchor point that attaches into the seatbelt.  One movement will release the harness, enabling quick escape in the event of a fire.  The Safety Solution Head and Neck Device comes with hardware and instructions for self assembly.

Hybrid X

The Hybrid X, a modification of the NASCAR approved Hybrid, was engineered to protect the head in side to side vibrations, as well as protecting the head and neck in frontal and angular impacts that occur in drag racing. The Hybrids patented technology is a unique adaptation of the R3 technology with increased shoulder belt interaction and a shorter back. The restraint uses a combination of the R3 chest strap and a set of angular front buckle straps that hook into the top of the seat belt buckle system. This arrangement produces a comfortable and stable restraint that excels in angular and multiple impact situations. The Hybrid uses multiple load paths to redirect the head loads and a combination of carbon fiber and straps to make the most secure device ever.
