All the guys I know who road race seriously run a HANS. If i were at a point where i was wearing a firesuit and running a cage I'd probably consider a HANS a lot

Yea, the seat rest will stop you from snapping back but lets say you smack a wall or sudden stop due to whatever, your neck/head/helmet are snapping forward and body is held tight (within some amount) by the harness.
Obviously not all sanctioning bodies say hans is required so just curious on this.
Again, theory talk here.
