M1114 HMMWV Cooper seat dangerous.
The Cooper seat/restraint system sold by Black Mountain Industries is dangerous because it doesn't let the gunner quickly drop inside the HMMWV HMMWV High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV is a trademark of AM General LLC; aka HUMVEE, also a trademark of AM General LLC) in case of a rollover. Stop buying it! If you have one, replace it with the original mesh seat, NSN 5340-01-530-1744. PM-Light Tactical Vehicles (LTV LTV
See: Loan-to-value ratio ) will distribute approved gunner's restraints at no cost to the gaining unit. For more information, read SOUM SOUM Safety of Use Message (US Army) 06-012 at the AEPS website: https://aeps.ria.army.mil
