FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Isaac® Surpasses
SFI Performance Specs for Head and Neck Loads.
Orlando,
Florida USA — December 21, 2005 — Isaac, LLC announces record
setting performance for its damper-based, Intermediate™ model head and
neck restraint. Testing to the SFI Spec 38.1 offset protocol,* the Isaac®
system not only was at least as effective as competing models in classic measures
such as neck tension, it was over four times more effective in reducing lateral
head torque caused by side impacts. (Click on the image below for crash video.)
The Isaac®
system also succeeded in keeping the belts on the driver's shoulders, and
may be the only product capable of doing so.
Said Gregg Baker,
P.E., a company engineer, “We have matched competing products when testing
side-by-side in the past, so we expected excellent neck tension values. However,
the lateral [side] component of this impact was 34Gs, and the instruments
can isolate the load that twists the driver's head sideways, so this was a
good opportunity to examine lateral protection.
We knew the Isaac® system would perform well, but an 85% load reduction
was a pleasant surprise.”
Isaac, LLC is
based in Orlando, Florida. It specializes in protection from head and neck
injuries and is the only such firm to offer a complete product line to racers.
