I suppose if you don't want to wear one, don't. But don't cry to anyone when you're lying in hospital facing life in a wheelchair.... I'm guessing here, but the people who don't want to wear the HANS device (not those who can't afford it)have never been in a really, really big accident. One where you see the wall coming towards you at 100+mph. Nothing like wishing you'd paid an extra £100 for a better helmet or £600 for a Hans device.
The old saying "it will never happen to me" is great, until it does happen to you. I'd rather be a living coward then a dead hero...
