A horse collar type of neck brace really only helps support the weight of a helmet, it offers basically no protection from whiplash or BSF...and definitely wouldn't stop the type of injury people claimed were caused by an airbag deployment.

I wear a HANS device, but that's only in cars with a 5/6-point belt system. In cars with an OEM 3-point I do not wear a brace.
