GENERAL BOATING BEST PRACTICES AND SAFETY SHOCKWAVE Marine Suspension Modules are designed to mitigate shock and vibration encountered in high-speed vessel operation in rough seas. Following the suggestions in this section will ensure that you are getting the most out of the product.
Your SHOCKWAVE S5 Marine Suspension Module will mitigate the effects of shock and vibration, reducing the potential of injury, but it will NOT prevent the possibility of injury. The increased level of comfort and control provided by SHOCKWAVE S5 Marine Suspension Seating will allow the craft to operate at higher speeds in sea states which create high shock loads on the craft and potentially the occupants.
