| About the Tucker Helmet Harness (from Teamtech) |
| It is important to note that the Tucker Helmet Harness concept has been used by sprint car, stock car, and monster truck drivers for many years before the Hans or Hutchins devices were even thought of. At the time, the concept was called a helmet restraint strap that looped around the shoulder and under arm while attaching to the side of the helmet. The Tucker Helmet Harness took this concept even further by modifying the tethers allowing all helmet loads to be transferred through the tethers directly to the seat harness, eliminating stress on the body resulting from the use of harness devices such as the Hutchins or D-cell designs. Additionally, crash tests prove that side impacts cause the shoulder belts to slip off the opposite shoulder. However, the Tucker Harness has the tether on the outer sides of the seat shoulder harness, the tethers pull the opposing shoulder harness along with body keeping the strap directly located on the shoulders. |
| The Tucker Helmet Harness is designed to provide slight forward movements also referred to as “nod” movement as well as minor rotation to access vision through side mirrors. This “nod” movement is helpful for monster truck drivers to see through the clear polycarbonate floorboard while negotiating a wheel stand or high jump over a bus or motor home. Additional “nod” movement is important in an open cockpit car with low reclining seats commonly found in formula type racecars |
| Several Monster Truck racers have noted that their thick foam helmet supports caused lifting of the helmet shell, but with the use of the Tucker Helmet Harness the driver can use the tethers to draw the helmet back down to the normal position creating a euphoric type, free-floating sensation or weightlessness in the head region. The head is supported in an upright position that is in-line with the spine during high jump and free style competition. When both end-over-end and lateral rollovers occur, the tethers act like stabilizers insuring that the head rests comfortably inside the helmet stable and secure. This harness can reduce the need for the attachment of a headrest to the seat. However, a lateral g-force headrest is recommended on all both right and left sides for all seats. |
