CRASH PAD- Try It, You'll Like It &free shipping
CRASH PAD - There's No Reason Not Too.
We get comments all the time from drivers, about how much they like
The CRASH PAD.
If it feels different at first, after a race or two it feels wrong without it.
The CRASH PAD makes the seat comfy but its true purpose is to
Reduce Spinal Compression Forces that break driver's backs in a crash.
The rigid bottom of your seat will not give, in a crash so your body has to absorb all the impact force.
Serious injuries happen when the downward motion of your body against the rigid seat compresses your spine and fracture, break or burst the vertebrae.
What makes this force so large is that the duration is extremely short in frame bottom impacts during a crash.
The Force (F) equals the Energy of motion (E) divided by the Time (t) it takes to stop.
F = E/t
Nothing in the frame bottom or well mounted seat will crush or bend to absorb impact so the stopping time is less than 1/10th of a second (t) and that small number in the formula above turns the Energy (E) into a huge force (F) !!!
And that ends up crushing your spine.
STUFF HAPPENS in racing and it matters not, if you have the most experience and best equipment or if you are a rookie.
You can take your chances
OR
put The CRASH PAD in your seat to absorb impact forces.
Nothing works as good as The CRASH PAD.
and nothing is cheaper.
