3 Using the FROG-XT
3.1 Safety Features
Protected Seating Position:
Seats are positioned directly behind the buoyancy panels providing maximum protection and
minimised sense of exposure. The arrangement of the seats and entry/exit points allow
rapid access and egress, allowing faster and more efficient transfers.
Fall Protection:
3-point harness system and grab handles protect from the risk of falling during transfer.
Vertical impact protection:
i. Seats mounted on a suspension system which consists of coil springs and recoil
dampers
ii. Semi-upright secure seat position, cushioned saddle seat
iii. Impact absorbing EVA foam feet
Lateral impact protection:
i. Stainless steel frame
ii. Buoyancy panels
iii. High backed headrest designed to reduce the risk of whiplash
iv. Grab handles and pommel shaped seat cushion for secure seating position
Flotation:
Buoyancy panels ensure the carrier floats with both passengers and stretcher above the
waterline. All XT transfer capsules are performance tested for the most extreme immersion
scenarios and self-right. All Frog-XT capsules self-right up to 180° inverted to the vertical
position in less than 10 seconds and will provide a stable floating platform in a wide range of
conditions. Frog-XT carriers are also tested for their responses to free-fall into water.
