We've been written out of the spec.
The specs are written to support SFI member manufacturers. HANS is a member and we are not.

(We have done extensive testing on this subject over the past year. The results will be available soon.)
This is the only reason Isaac systems are not SFI certified. It has nothing to do with crash sled performance, where, BTW, we kick massive quantities of posterior.

Good luck, I hope something good comes out of this... Damn 800 pound Gorilla...
Hey...now that I think of it... Dont the safety harnesses require a release? How about the window nets? What kind of logic is that?
