Was this thing developed in Chicago or Wyoming...or just heavily tested thereabouts?

It is most effective after a night of heavy drinking & lots of barbeque.

For some reason it reminded me of Chi and wyoming. In fact a guy from Montana told me that is the lid for Jackson Hole!

There is very little in the way of neck protection standards internationally. Specification Document SFI 38.1 (USA) will need to have their test protocols re-written to be in a position to test our brace, as our design is so unique and offers far more protection than this specification tests for. We have made an application to the SFI standards authority in this regard.

Mind you, having seen Larry's latest, I'm wondering if we haven't wandered into an interesting viscous damping device, depending on the load passed through it during testing, so I might hold my breath for a while longer...

Keeping the head more or less on top of the shoulders and in normal position will reduce neck strain in the geographic, mechanical sense.

I agree with you, I don't see how this would reduce the "hyperextension" that occurs in these situations, but I'm no expert.
