I have seen on a few forums and website's come to that saying you can hire helemts at the event for a nominal fee. Would you trust the integrity of this product. I am aware they hire HANS out is it the same, would you be just as cautious with this also

It is a valid concern, but it is up to each individual to decide whether they will accept the risk of using HANS and/or helmet that may have been in an accident. Do you replace your own helmet every time you are in an accident? The rules don't force you to and many (most?) people don't. Certainly I can understand someone hiring kit if they are new to the sport, or don't do many events.
I have just been in a roll in which my helmet & HANS suffered no visible damage. My inclination is to change the helmet and not the HANS. Partly because I don't see how the HANS can have suffered any damage, and partly because it is an excuse to change from a Peltor helmet to a Stilo to match the driver I have teamed up with this year. If I didn't want a new helmet anyway I may be more reluctant to pay out for a new one.

Yes, Arctic, and no, no injuries to either of us.
