Happened last weekend at the track event I was at due to coolant down.
Here's all the "gear" I needed....Stock Seat, Stock Belt. Soooo much fitting to be able to use a HANs

Yep.
Free society and people are free to do as they please. If you, as an individual want to run less safety gear, then you accept the associated risks. That’s fine. But I also don’t understand why people put down anybody who wants to have quality safety components.
Everything is a risk analysis, cost v benefit. Fire suppression, HANS etc. some may be deemed necessary for your specific application, and others not so much.
