BlastRide Blast Mitigating Seat Technology
BlastRide Blast Mitigating Seat Technology offers protection and comfort to military personnel by mitigating the effects of mine and explosive device blasts. Blast and laboratory tests have demonstrated that the mitigation technology employed in BlastRide can reduce the level of load felt by an occupant’s spine and pelvis from 350 g to under 20 g (survivable load levels). System reset provides protection for both primary (blast) and secondary (slam down) impulses.
