There are individuals that are versed in the latest aspects of safety. Be wary and listen to the ones that aren't trying to sell you something. If you are interested in lerning more a good place to start is George Lindner or David Depatrillo.
That said..Haggin was making an attempt at one point to have a Safety Summit bringing in the top safety guys from Hydro,champ, Class 1 ,Drag and Euro and US offshore builders and Safety professionals to update the aging Lavin Specs. I will revisit with him today to see if I can get this back on track for a meeting in MIAMI before the show.
Unfortunately, a lot of the HARD lessons learned are not being implemented on current day race boats . Even simple retrofits are being sacrificed for weight savings , cost, speed, comfort or plain ignorance.
Miss GEICO Racing team has begun moving ahead with the help of like minded racers safety and builders in applying new and old technology/lessons to our program. If ANY team would like to have our safety playbook or tour our boats for ideas...just ask.
Quick overview:
Double streingth Canopy
Carbon Roll Cage
Extra wide window flanges w/bra and floating windows
5/8 to 1 inch window screens / min exposure
6 point 3 inch Formula 1 Racing belts, Cam Lock
La Joie Custom Nascar seats w/ head restraints
Han's Device
TRIPLE redundance air systems
TRIPLE pin Safety Hatch Systems
Fully Braced Engine hatch with extra pins
All Hatches Pinned and braced
Raised lips around escape hatches
Carbon racing helmets/air
Cockpit padding for legs
3 Halon Fire Systems auto/Manual
Emergency Cockpit lighting
In Hull Cockpit water diversion bulkheads
New Glow sticks , every test, every race. period
Open TEAM "what if" environment. (everyone's input ideas listened too)
I'm sure I missed something but you get the idea. We are fortunate Haggin is a maniac for safety. Not to mention the best safety crew (Angels) around and a fully loaded safety boat for all racers benefit.
