Leatt-Brace Moto KART Club Neck Brace - Only $395 + Free Shipping
The Leatt-Brace(R) MOTO KART is designed for use in all go-kart and karting applications. The brace was developed to help prevent:
Hyperflexion: extreme forward head movement
Hyperextension: extreme rearward head movement
Lateral Hyperflexion: extreme sideways head movement
Axial loading: compression of the spinal column due to the effect of force on the helmet
Posterior hypertranslation: rearward movement of the head/helmet on the neck.
There
is currently no other neck protection system available for karters that
can effectively help prevent all of the above potential injuries. The
design rationale behind the Leatt-Brace(R) is to bring the
head to a controlled stop. This is achieved by providing a padded rigid
structure that acts as an alternate load path for neck forces. Helmet
impacts otherwise transmitted from the helmet to skull and then to the
neck are re-directed from the helmet to the brace to other body
structures in a safe way.
The design of the Leatt-Brace(R)
prevents the helmet/head from projecting over the brace and therefore
prevents a fulcrum action, which has been documented in literature
pertaining to the use of collar devices. The Leatt-Brace(R) MOTO KART works with most types of body armor and chest protectors.
The Leatt-Brace(R)
MOTO KART is compatible with all motorcycle helmet types and our design
allows riders an adequate range of movement. The Leatt-Brace(R) MOTO KART is designed for all levels of competition use, and recreational karting. The Leatt-Brace(R)
has been tested by BMW Munich, KTM Works Riders, the SABS (South
African Bureau of Standards). It is also endorsed by MSA (Motorsport
South Africa).
