:laugh: It might be painful, it might be dangerous and it might be illegal but it's never boring ;)

The HANS is frequently fitted with quick release buckles that allow the driver to detach the helmet from the device. The device is only held in place by the shoulder belts. Once the belts are released, especially on the smaller models, the device really doesn't restrict motion of the neck anymore than the helmet when the driver isn't strapped in.
The stock models for formula cars allow up to 40 degrees forward motion, and drivers are able to get in and out of stock cars wearing the HANS fairly easily.

Fyi:
Helmet Attachment - Quick Click, for SA Helmet

Ambrose was probably wearing a model with more restricted motion suited to a more upright seating position in a saloon car and without the release buckles.

Again, I am confused?

Can you, or anyone else point out one instance on this thread where I insulted you or have been trolling? Even when you claim my opinions are stupid or I have had to clarify a post because you took offence where none was intended, I have tried to do so without ridiculing you. (which would have been quite easy).

I really don't know where you are coming from or why you're getting so worked up so it really is best if you do put me on your ignore list.

Listen, you know very well where you insulted me and anyone who knows you and your track record will see it. You've even done it in this post.

Daniel and Retro, please discuss your issues via PM thanks :)

Thanks Pino! This is an enjoyable thread to discuss the pros and cons of the suggestion minus all of the personal attacks.

Sorry mate. Back to the subject which seems to be a resounding NO to the idea of closed cockpits.

Hope the TWG don't adopt this idea.

The silly though about this was that the poll shouldn't be about coupe's but having a canopy or a windscreen, but whatever :)

Never flippin' happy!!

Just saying :)
