Installing the helmet anchors does involve drilling holes in the helmet. The Snell Foundation has stated that so long as the drilling is done outside of the test zone, it does not affect the helmet’s certification. The anchors used for the HANS Device are not in the test zone. Each kit includes the helmet hardware and installation instructions for easy do-it-yourself installation.
