I cannot speak to what drives NHRA rules, they may be outdated, no idea. But I'm not sure how many front-enders you get into on a drag strip so maybe the rules skew towards different types of accidents. I really don't know..

i did some googling on HANs and tripped on this: http://www.autoracing1.com/goodboys/001031HANS1.htm
