The Isaac®
This head and neck restraint system uses shock absorbers to minimize injuries suffered by racing drivers. Unlike "head restraints," which work by limiting the position of the head, the Isaac® shocks offset dangerous head loads without unnecessarily restricting head position.
In crash tests conducted at Wayne State University's Bioengineering Center, Isaac® performed as well as any product ever tested, reducing head loads almost 90%. Because it is not "worn" Isaac® has one size, and can be used in any style race car by any driver having a set of helmet mounts. It is easily moved between race cars and, because it is modular, racers can upgrade components as new designs become available.

VARA Mandate Yields Member Discount (added 6 November 2003)
Members of the Vintage Auto Racing Association will receive a 10% discount on all Isaac® purchases through the end of 2003.
After the crew of Advanced Fire and Rescue, which provides safety services for VARA, recently witnessed the death of an amateur racer due to basilar skull fracture, the organization adopted a policy phasing in the required use of head and neck restraints.
Isaac, LLC applauds this policy, and offers the discount in support of this life-saving initiative.
