What do you guys think of these neck braces that are being released sometime this year? Even though it looks like a toilet seat is around your neck, i kinda like the idea.

I've seen some accidents where good gear would have done it's job and people would have been able to walk away from the scene instead off being hospitalized for a long time or even worse....

While I can see the point to some extent, I wonder how much it will really help. And there is no way I would even think about wearing it on the street. It is hard enough to turn and look behind you in a cage with a collar like this:
But to make the effort of turning to look beside/behind more difficult on the street, no thanks.
In a race car a Hans really does save lives and injury because in the case of a frontal collision, your body is held stationary in relation to the car by the harness, but your head is thrown forward (thanks to Newton) creating huge G loads that are concentrated on the top end of the spine. A head and neck restraint system relocates the loading of the system to the harnesses and the shoulders which can much better deal with the loading. This same head and neck loading is simply not possible on a bike.
