HANS device

Uncommon card · No. 130024

A HANS device (head and neck support device) is a type of head restraint and a safety device in motorsports. Head restraints are mandatory when competing with most major motorsports sanctioning bodies. They reduce the likelihood of head or neck injuries, including basilar skull fracture, in the event of a crash. There are many such devices on the market today, like the Hutchens device now known as the Simpson Hybrid Device, but the HANS is the original and most commonly used name.
