Description
HANS Device – Pro Ultralite
Made in the USA, the Pro Ultralite device applies aerospace grade carbon to achieve a 100+ gram weight saving when compared to the regular Pro Ultra. The Pro Ultra Lite saves on weight and allows for easy entry and exit from the race car, even smaller, tighter vehicles. The 100% carbon fiber construction features a hollow core for increased weight reduction without sacrificing strength and the sliding tethers offer exceptional visibility.

SIMPSON HYBRID PROLITE FIA – Revolution Racegear
Manufactured from carbon fiber pre-preg the HANS Prolite shaped like a “U”. The back of the “U” sits behind the neck and two arms lie flat over the pectoral muscles. It attaches to the helmet. It does not attach to the belts, driver’s body, or seat. The helmet attaches to the device via an anchor on each side. With a correctly installed 5- or 6-point racing harness, the belts that cross the driver’s upper body pass directly over the HANS device and buckle at the center of the driver’s abdomen. The HANS device secures to the body of the driver, not the seat.
The purpose of the HANS 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 will allow the wearer’s head to move normally but will prevent or restrict head movements during a crash that would exceed the normal articulation range of the musculoskeletal system.
In any crash the body is decelerated by the harness. The head maintains velocity until decelerated by the neck. HANS devices maintain the position of the head relative to the body, transferring energy to the chest, torso, shoulder, seat belts, and seat as the head is decelerated.
