Today's Detroit Free Press has an article about the HANS racing safety device including info. about the HANS inventor and how he developed it, how some racers who were reluctant to use it now swear by it, etc. I thought you all might find it interesting since HANS comes up during a lot of discussions here on the board.

In lieu of that one, here's a link to another article about the device's history, including an interview with the inventor, hosted by another site: http://www.catchfence.com/html/2006/mt032706.html
The HANS device's own site is at http://hansdevice.com/site/index.html.
