More reasons not to mess with Whole Body Vibration

 

Whole Body Vibration can be experienced by a lot of users, however Heavy Machinery users experience WBV on a daily basis.

I was emailed this link earlier in the week, and I thought I’d share it on our website. Whole Body Vibration(WBV) usually occurs by riding in vehicles, but its effects can be seen by people who drive heavy machinery, work driving tractors all day, or something as fun as riding a motorcycle. WBV is most commonly noticeable through nausea,headaches, or loss of balance. But longterm exposure to WBV can cause serious health concerns, especially dealing with the spine. It can cause disc disease, herniated discs, disorders of the gastrointestinal system, and lumbar scoliosis.

click this link to read more warnings about WBV. This particular link actually shows and talks about the effects that WBV can have on heavy machinery users. It also mentions what you can do to combat WBV. One of which is “Try to get out of your vehicle every one to two hours for a few minutes to stand, stretch, and give your body a break from vibration.” A few minutes every one to two hours, is anyone really going to do this?

I would suggest giving a MitiGator equipped seat a try before you do that. MitiGator has been proven to reduce whole body vibration by over 60% versus standard memory foam. The MitiGator cushioning system is designed to absorb and dissipate energy from vibration and impacts that users back or body will usually feel.

2010 was a great year for the MitiGator Ford Fusion, It stayed within the top 5 in points for the majority of the year. However bad luck plagued the team the last half of the year. I came across this video a couple nights back and wanted to share it with all of our fans and visitors to our site.

The MitiGator Paintball Test

We finally were able to get everything setup for the MitiGator paintball test. Before we jump into the video I want to let you know how we setup the test a little bit. We actually did three tests, we set up a distance of about 15 feet and had the target get shot three different times by our paintball gun. The first was on bare skin, so that we could have a baseline for what a paintball would do to bare skin. The next was your typical paintball vest that you would find at your typical retail store. Finally, the last test was him wearing the same vest as test #2, but this time we had equipped it with the MitiGator cushioning system. The results were pretty incredible. Make sure you watch the video! And if you have any questions about the MitiGator Cushioning System then send me a email at John@MitiGatorinc.com
