Our risk management needed to carefully consider seating. Having investigated the options we decided on SKYDEX seat cushions built by Scot Seats. Velocity has carried over 20,000 passengers. Not only have the seats provided shock mitigation to all sizes and weights of passengers - they have maintained their appearance, comfort and performance.'
