I like the HANS because it goes where I go. It is only attached to the helmet (i.e., the helmet bone connected to the head bone, etc.).

Well, In a way I stand somewhat corrected.  Earlier this year there was a
member advisory suggesting that "only SFI rated devices should be purchased" and said that come the year that non-SFI rated devices would not be approved.
This also said any devices that attach to the harnesses would not be
acceptable. (NO Hutchins, no ISAAC).

When I look in the 2007 GCR, I can't
find any of this language, so somehow it is apparently not finalized.  It
still just says "head and neck restraints are suggested" or something to that
effect.  (p 76).

I like the ISSAC, but i don't like three latches to hit to
get out of a burning car. I just want to do one to get out of the belts and be on my way. If they could figure out a better way to get out of the thing, it would be good. For that matter, I think HANS should buy ISAAC just to get
the damper system and put it into the HANS or R3 designs...

Is there a list of what is legal in SCCA ? My
understanding is that SCCA
rejected the SFI standard.

I've been looking at
the ISAAC Device. It surpasses the Hans in the tests,
but because of the 2
release points it won't get the SFI sticker.

Poor test results and no longer legal in the SCCA.

YIKES!

Has
anyone ever looked into or used the SDS system made by G-Force?

It
looks like
it would perform well and it is only about 300$
