Tornado AIR Crutch Tips
The Tornado AIR: Laboratory Proven. Joint Protecting.
The Tornado AIR crutch tip has been independently tested at the University of South Carolina’s Mechanical Engineering Department — and the results are definitive.
In shock absorption testing, the Tornado AIR delivered a 50%+ improvement over standard rubber tips. In wet-slip testing, it achieved a Coefficient of Friction of 0.47–0.52 — consistently exceeding the 0.40 threshold safety researchers recognize as the minimum for safe ambulation.
Thomas Fetterman has been a crutch user since 1953. This tip is the product of a lifetime of experience — validated in the lab, proven in the world.
