I have easy low-tech, possibly non-functional solutions. I have large eyes painted on the back of my hat. Some times when I am alone in mountain lion country, I am just very vigilant and carry a small pepper spray can in my hand. If I run down canyons, I scream (roar) a lot, very loudly (really). I tend to be more on edge after seeing bighorn sheep kills.

If I was that worried about it, I couldn't walk out my front door without protection since there have been deer kills within 100 yards of my front door.

Maybe for some it is.
Don't know what a HANS device is but since cats attack from behind, I've thought those masks that Indian people wear on the back of their heads to protect from tigers might work against mountain lions.

First of all, why and for what sane reason, would anyone do this knowing that there are cougars in the area?

Well an avy beacon might protect me from an avylanch so doesn't it follow the same reason that a hans device could save you from a mountain lion.
