Helmet StrapsPosted by Carlo Chermaz, 28 September 2008, 6:03 PM |
News from CAMS about helmet straps
Hi All,
It has come to our attention that there has been the use of an unapproved device attached to helmets during Superkart Races.
This device takes the form of a strap attached to the helmet at the front and secured to the waist or knees of the driver.
It is not an approved addition to any of the helmet standards and it is not permitted to fit such a device.
There is an obvious risk to the safety of the driver if they were to be thrown from the vehicle.
Scrutineers must ensure that safety equipment is not modified or used in any manner in which they are not approved.
Could you please forward this email to the relevant State Scrutiny Panels.
Regards,
Rupert Rodrigues
