Title: FIA 8858 approved frontal head restraint options
Post by: sparky on April 28, 2011, 09:27:04 AM
I was just curious if anyone out there had a list of FIA 8858 approved frontal head restraints.  I know there is the defacto HANS device.  I also stumbled upon the Safety Solutions Hybrid Pro.  I was just wondering if there are any others out there. 

Thanks,

I could be wrong but I was pretty sure that only HANS is rated FIA 8858 at this time...

The Hutchens device is also FIA, that is the only other I am aware of. It is quite the contraption in my mind. I tried it , I will stick with my HANS.

Agreed, it is more expensive and looks pretty cumbersome.  I thought I would ask though.  I see a lot of SFI approved systems out there, but only the two FIA certified ones.
