The nape attachment does appear designed to sever your neck in the event of an accident, and they move around enough in relation to your head to restrict your vision to a laughable degree during spirited aeros. From a bonce-protection perspective, they are better than nothing, but IMHO likely to cause sufficient annoyance in short order that they remain at the back of the locker when you go flying, thus reducing the protective effect to zero.
