So they have no equivalent of NASCAR's HANS device to keep the neck injuries down? Even a rapid inflate equivalent would be good if they are worried about the pilot being able to look around with ease

There are quite a few protection mechanisms the issue only starts to happen with pilots the weight under 165 lbs (with <136 lbs being at serious risk) which wasn't discovered during testing. This most likely will only effect female pilots as far as the USAF goes, and maybe applicable to foreign customers (although even as far as Europe goes I'm not sure how many male pilots would be under 74kg being tall especially with long legs, and very well built pretty much serves you well as far as being able to handle high positive G's).
