Head Injury and Neck Restraints

It has been so long ago since I have been to any type of racing event, that I can’t seem to even remember when the last time was. I used to go watch my kid brother race his Harley before he decided to switch from his Harley to a brand new Kawasaki motorcycle. I couldn’t believe my eyes when he brought home that bright green Japanese Kawasaki. I was flabbergasted and in protest I never went and watched him again.


The older I get the more I notice that there is so much more to life than getting behind the wheel and putting the pedal to the metal, with the stereo blasting and hauling butt down the highway. Safety has slowly but most assuredly become a huge issue to me. It bothers me that so many people that I know are passing away in violent tragedies, many on the highway. Most could have been prevented.


While researching racing safety HANS device at Pegasus earlier today I came across an interesting video, 15 Minutes Can Save Your Life, that I wanted to post here today. I found it on a car racing supply website that I check out on occasion. This video is on YouTube as well as Facebook. Amazing how an hour or two online gives you a glimpse of all of the things that they are coming up with, it just boggles my mind.
