Crap I have one and was considering laguna this weekend

Northstar Motorsports

This has nothing to do with HANS. This only refers to the Leatt Head and Neck Restraint, which is NOT a HANS. They are incorrectly using the term HANS to refer to any Head & Neck Restraint.

Unfortunately I think most people use the term HANS the same as Kleenex. There are most likely people that refer to the Leatt system as a HANS device in the generic sense. It's possible Leatt wanted to cast a broader net for the notification.
