Hope recovery is swift.

I MUST invest in that HANS device for next year, I tend to feel invincible when I am in a car, but posts like this bring you back down to earth.

This was one of those incidents where Hans may have been a detriment, complete 90 degree side on impact, wouldn't have helped either of us. However we will now be putting Hans seats in passenger seats and I wont ever go out as a passenger again without full suit and hans ever again.

So what caused you guys the damage then John? I'm assuming you were both harnesses & helmeted - did part of the bodywork come inwards, or was it simply the forces of going from 60-0mph with the aid of a concrete wall.

I assume Daz's off at the first CSL Cup was at much lower speed?

Scary.

Slightly lower speed, and more importantly I hit broadside and spread the impact against the wall down the whole side of my car rather than directly head on

That was my very first outing on slicks also !!!!

If head on then HANS would've helped and as John said it didn't I assume this was broadside too - ie 90 degrees to the direction of travel, difference was that this unfortunately involved a concrete wall

JT - why do you say HANS may have been to your detriment? In a sideways crash what does it do that could worsen the damage? Interested to hear as I wear one and can't see how that could be the case?
