The counter argument is that the MSA don't require them, there has been no testing/evidence to show that they improve safety and there are similar anecdotes/opinions stating that neck braces can worsen injuries.

I've seen drivers with and without neck braces taken away in an ambulance. My driver flipped at the end of the straight at PF, tipped the kart over and carried on. He wasn't wearing a neck brace. Having the full range of neck movement could well be a benefit in such accidents.

Karting is, thankfully, a relatively safe sport.
