HOW KOROYD WAS BORN

Koroyd's Origins

WHERE DID IT ALL BEGIN?

Koroyd’s origins can be traced back to the aerospace industry and the catastrophic crash of flight BD092 in Kegworth, England.

Investigations highlighted that the design and construction of the seats and their lack of energy absorption contributed to the fatalities and injuries sustained by passengers.

THE ULTIMATE DAMAGE CONTROL SYSTEM

DEVELOPED FROM AEROSPACE SAFETY RESEARCH

Subsequent extensive research projects were initiated to determine what measures could be taken in order to reduce the risk to passengers in similar accidents.

It was during this work that cylindrical tubes were found to absorb the most amount of energy for a given distance.
