Helmets and safety gear... what and where to buy in Melbourne	Sun, 12 June 2005 13:25

As those that have met me would know I have a muscle condition that means I have general muscular weakness. This means that in the event of an accident my neck would be quite vulnerable to injury. More vulnerable that most. (eg: imagine the complete opposite of a rugby player's neck. ) I've always planned to get into hillclimbs because historic racing has been a big part of my father's side of the family. I'm also going to a couple of Go Karting days on the holidays. Thus I want to make sure that if i am in any sort of accident i'm as prepared and protected as possible. Looking at the Hans Device website I can see that this piece of equipment is for serious professional racers only due to it's hefty mofo of a price tag. I've seen those rubber donuts worn by people to protect their necks... how effective are they and is that the only alternative to the Hans Device? Is there a neck protecting device that is somewhere between the rubber donut and the Hans Device? Also, I was thinking that as soon as Dad finishes the Bugatti I'm gonna want to give it a run up the hill as soon as possible so I might as well get myself a helmet now so I can use it Karting as well. What is the best place to go for advice and expert opinions on these topics? If anyone wants to suggest brands of stuff as well that would give me a good direction for further invesigation. thanks... sorry for typing too much. [Report message to a moderator]
