Watch Therafin's WC-20 Transit Seating Crash Test

The test evaluators were impressed with the condition of the Seat compared to many others. Our plywood base did not exhibit any breakage at all, where many other seats that have been tested showed signs of breakage (some breakage is allowed to comply).
