This device comes with optional patented SAS (Seatbelt Anchor System) for greater coverage in flips, barrel rolls, and side impacts.

Tether replacements recommended at 5-year intervals.
The purpose of the Hybrid device is to keep the head from whipping in a crash. This prevents excessive rotational movement without restricting movement of the neck. The head is allowed to move normally but the device prevents or restricts head movements that would exceed the normal articulation range of the musculoskeletal system. In any kind of crash the body will be decelerated by the harness. The head maintains velocity until it is decelerated by the neck. The Hybrid Pro Lite ® maintains the relative position of the head to the body, transferring energy to the chest, torso, shoulder, seat belts, and seat as the head is decelerated.
