The MitiGator cushioning system developed by Sea Systems Group was originally designed for military vehicles such as the Cobra attack helicopter and the Humvee.  Since 2006 Seas Group has branched out to the consumer market with its Gator X line of MitiGator products.

What’s great about the MitiGator are the various applications it can be used for. One example are handles for items such as metal baseball bats and hammers.  Since these items are subject to vibration when used, MitiGator material placed on the handle can decrease impact vibration reducing the sting you get on your hands when force is applied. Another great use can be cases for electronic devices such as the iPad or iPhone.  These Mobile devices are constantly moved around thus increasing the chance of impact damaging the device.

MitiGator casing can provide sufficient protection when these devices are dropped or abused. The MitiGator material is light weight so it will not be a burden when used on an iPhone or other electronic devices. The MitiGator can also be applied as legs for large furniture and appliances. Presently the legs that are on many major appliances and furniture are made out of rubber or some sort of plastic. Over time these legs can wear causing the appliance to tilt creating inconvenience for the user. The MitiGator material lasts indefinitely providing support for the life of the product.

Currently Seas Group is developing prototypes for stock car seats, sports armor, gloves, and other applications.  If you have any ideas or suggestion on uses for the MitiGator, click on the media link below.

The MitiGator™ Technology is an engineered cushioning system designed to protect people and equipment from these 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 over 4,000 surfaces per square foot to dissipate energy before it is transmitted to the body and thus help alleviate the problems.

Shockproof your addiction

Whatever your addiction is: motorsports, boating, motocross, mountain biking,… The list could go on. The first priority of any of these has to be to make the ride/experience as safe as possible. That is the purpose behind Mitigatorinc.com, to show you a new safety innovation that can make your addiction safer.

A lot of times we just associate the pains that come from whatever we are riding/driving as pains that you must experience because of the ride. This was the case last year before I had the chance to experience sitting in a MitiGator equipped seat in our USAR Pro Cup car. After every race I would always have lower back pain and would hardly be able to stand up after a race because of my back. But when I got to try the MitiGator Equipped seat for the first time the results were phenomenal. At first I couldn’t tell a whole lot of difference between sitting on just foam, compared to sitting on the MitiGator. But as soon as the race was over, I noticed that my back wasn’t sore. Infact, I felt like I could run another 250 laps. In fact I look at it as an advantage over the competition. When the track is beating them up, I have something that will absorb the impacts and vibrations so my body doesn’t have to.

The point of the MitiGator is to absorb impacts and vibrations, and dissipate the energy from them over the mitigator instead of being transmitted through your body. So don’t simply accept that the pain you experience is something that can’t be eliminated. Send me an email, John@MitiGatorinc.com and we’ll see what we can come up with to make your addiction that much safer and more comfortable. This month alone we have prototyped MitiGator equipped MotoCross gloves, MotoCross boots, Stock Car gloves, Boating Seats, PWC Gloves,  Mountain bike seats, and Motorcycle seats, just to name a few. Keep checking back to this blog to see the latest applications and innovations from MitiGatorinc.com

The month of may is going to be a busy one for all of us at Mitigatorinc.com. I have posted a list of events at the bottom of this blog, but the hectic month kicked off this past weekend at Hickory Motor speedway with the Wix Filters 250. We had trouble getting the live webcast up and running this past weekend, and for that we do apologize. We were able to do live twitter updates from the event. Make sure your following us on twitter throughout the month of May as we are going to have some awesome things happening throughout the month.

As far as the race goes, the Mitigator Ford Fusion has been on a tear the last two race weekends finishing 3rd and 2nd respectively. But Hickory was another story, We struggled in practice and during the race we just couldn’t get the breaks we needed to bring home a top five finish. It was disappointing but we fought back and brought home a tenth place finish. The Mitigator Ford now sits third in points heading into the race at Rockingham Speedway on May 15th.

Like I said before May is going to be busy, so if you are going to be anywhere near these future events come by and introduce yourself. The goal is to do a live webcast from each of these events.

May 15th Rockingham 200 Rockingham Raceway Park – Rockingham, NC
