by starting a thread for a change.


For your delectation and delight I will show you how firesuits are tested.

This was taken a couple of months ago at North Carolina State University.
It shows one of our our new materials under test - worn by a much abused mannequin

You can just make out the chain holding his head up.
We weren't testing gloves so his hands are missing.
