Seems like, reading the newspaper, that in most automobile accidents
the victims complain of back and neck pain.
Suppose you are on the track with a helmet that doubles the mass of
your head and you get in an accident. I don't think the neck would
have a chance.

If you're like me you have a full race harness in your Vette. Some
think the airbags in the car will save their neck in a collision.
This might be true if you are a crash dummy (average size/weight) with
a seatbelt working in conjunction with an airbag. With a full race
harness there is going to be a lot less stretch versus the stock 3
point, and maybe the lack of stretch means the head never gets to the
airbag.

Below is a list of some of the head restraints available today to save
our necks!
