Default More SFI 38.1 devices

Begin Disclaimer:
I am in no way trying to start another H&N restraint debate.
I came across this while trying to find the answer to another question.
End Disclaimer.

It would appear as though there have been some new SFI38.1 devices added:
http://www.safedrives.com/proddetail...sHybrid&cat=82
Appears to be half original Hutchens and half R3.

This quote was especially interesting:
http://www.safedrives.com/products.asp?cat=82

What? No HANS Device sold at safedrives.com?

We at Safe Drives LLC feel that the HANS Device sold by Hubbard Downing is not a safe product. Please see the SFI 38.1 Certified devices listed below or call us for more details at 877-739-1713.

Kim,
You're probably right, but it would have been better if they said nothing about the HANS.

Their prices do not look right. If that is the new Hutchens II device then it is only $725 from http://www.hutchensdevice.com/

Rough translation: "We've had a lot of accidents, so we're uniquely qualified to deliver objective performance data on driver safety equipement".

Idiots.

But that's just my opinion.
