Dale Earnhardt's crash itself likely could not have been prevented, but him dying in it may have been prevented had he been wearing a HANS device. It should be noted that had he not died, we likely would not have the SAFER Barriers that are at almost every single racetrack today, but had those been in existence, Dale Earnhardt would almost certainly still be with us.
