The Versa Cushion Using The Mitigator™ Cushion System

shock cushion: MitiGator™

This shock cushion is designed with the same MitiGator™ energy cushioning structure as our other products. It is 16 1/2" by 17" by 1 3/4" and can be used in many applications. It can be used as seat cushions on board boats, aircraft, HMMWVs, armored vehicles, ATVs, etc. It is an excellent aftermarket addition to any vehicle where the occupants are subject to repeat or one-time impacts.

SEAS' shock cushion system (utilizing one layer of The MitiGator™ Technology) dissipates much of the energy of impacts and prevents that energy from passing through to the human body, thus reducing the level of injury sustained. The shock cushion system is as effective against repeated impacts (high speed boats or ground vehicles) as it is against one-time events (crash landings). The MitiGator™ utilized in the cushion has been shown to attenuate as much as 40% more energy than standard or conformal foam systems.

The MitiGator™ technology is an engineered system; specific MitiGator™ configurations can be designed for specific applications. Along with its good energy-attenuating characteristics, The MitiGator™ has the added advantage of returning to its original configuration after impact, making it suitable for repeated impacts.

The shock cushion is made of materials that will survive in a marine environment. Studies have also shown that the system also acts as a vibration attenuating system as well. This reduces fatigue and pain, allowing crewmembers to concentrate on the mission or task at hand.

Our shock cushions also feature E-A-R Conformal Foam (originally developed for NASA) seating surfaces to provide unsurpassed comfort and relief from pressure point pain. These foams contribute additional impact protection, vibration isolation and durability.

Real Auto Sport's Pro-Rally Owner/Driver "Mad Mike" Halley uses the Versa Cushion in The Stud Bug. He says:

"The MitiGator significantly decreases the beating I usually take inside a rally car over the hundreds of off-road miles that a typical Sports CarClub of America ProRally Championship covers. Avoiding the punishment to the body, after all, leaves more in reserve for the driver to call on later when it can make the difference."

energy absorbtion

The MitiGator™ Technology is an engineered cushioning system designed to protect people from hi-speed, hi-impact assaults and to allow them to continue to perform their jobs or enjoy their leisure time. The MitiGator™ uses patented air control technology working with 4,044 surfaces per square foot to dissipate energy before it is transmitted to the body and thus help alleviate the problems.
