Why HEED 3

HEED 3 - Company Story

From an idea to saving lives

Larry Williamson was just a scuba diver on his first night dive when tragedy struck. Out of air at 140′, with no back-up air system, and his buddy was too far away. He panicked for a moment and began racing to the surface. His last thought was “If I only had one more breath of air.” He blacked out near the surface. Luckily the dive boat plucked him out of the water just in time.

Feedback & Reviews

The following is a partial list of the many true-life letters we have received over the years about people and their experience with HEED and Spare Air units.

Two of our best testimonials are simply the number of units sold (over 400,000 since 1979), and the number of clients who have placed HEED 3/Spare Air in their government agency, NGO or business.

On 6/6/1990 I was a crewman aboard an SH-60B Helicopter (BONO 162343) which experienced catastrophic loss of tail rotor thrust & subsequently ditched at sea. Your product, Helicopter Emergency Egress Device (HEED) was instrumental to my safe egress that day. I’m not certain I would be here today if it were not for your device.

I had the distinct luck to be wearing a “HEED” bottle on the night that my helicopter experienced a material failure and crashed at sea. As with most pilots, I completed all training, but never expected to use your equipment because my aircraft would never fail me! I guess my luck ran out on this night.

The aircraft entered the water while in a near level attitude (right wing low). The PIC inflated the floats as the aircraft rolled inverted to the right. The co-pilot (left seat) egressed without delay. The pilot (right seat) and flight mechanic activated personal HEED bottles located in their survival vests and successfully egressed from the wreckage.
