Stacy, you hit the head with the nail! It's an insurance policy.
The figures you should be looking at are the number of people killed (worldwide) in motorsport, from Basal Skull Fracture injuries. Those are the people who would be saved by a HANS.
One is too many.
Some people say "where will it stop". I think we've probably gone as far as we can, short of going to airbags.
Yes, Motor Racing is dangerous, and part of the thrill is the risk, as much as the speed. But you have to draw a line.
Just because the mincer doesn't have a guard on it, doesn't mean you have to shove your fingers in it.
