WHAT
IS A CRASHWORTHY SEAT? In the event of a crash a crashworthy seat increases the
odds for the survival of the occupant. Skyline’s crashworthy seats
utilize a new state of the art energy attenuator (EA) to protect a wide range
of occupant weights. Why is Skyline’s EA so special? Prior to
Skyline’s patented EA, crashworthy seats were designed two ways. One way is to optimize the seat for one occupant weight
(usually 170 pounds). This will protect this particular occupant in a similar
crash that the seat is tested to. What happens if I don’t weigh 170
pounds? If you weigh more than 170 pounds you could possibly stroke the seat
to the floor and result in serious injury or death. If you weigh less than
170 pounds, you may not be able to stroke the seat enough to attenuate the
energy. This will result in additional spinal loading which again can cause
serious injury or death. The other way is with a seat system where you dial in your
effective weight. Seats with this system have been effective, but they have
one major problem. What is my effective weight? Your effective weight is
usually calculated as eighty percent of your clothed weight less you shoes or
boots plus any equipment or items carried on your person or in your pockets.
What happens if you dial in the wrong weight? If you dial in to low a weight,
you could possibly stroke the seat to the floor and result in serious injury
or death. If you dial in to high a weight, you may not be able to stroke the
seat enough to attenuate the energy. This will result in additional spinal loading
which again can cause serious injury or death. Skyline’s EA has been tested and qualified for broad
ranges of weights (102 to 255 pounds). It is completely passive, meaning you
don’t have to do anything. |
