| Tornado Tips | |
 | Tips are hand-assmembled in a 12 step process using the best quality natural rubber with only 10% clay mixed in as versus 40-60% clay with other major brands. Encapsulated inside each tip is a thick pad of Absorbalite shock absorbing gel polymer. |
 | With regular crutch tips, up to three times your body weight is cast upon your shoulders with each step you take. This "crutch shock" not only tires you out day to day but over the long-haul destroys cartilage, bone, tendons and nerves. Tornado tips help protect you from these deleterious effects. |
| They also provide superior traction because the full bottom of these tips bend over and angage the ground, even at very steep crutch angles. Tornado tips have a 2" base diameter and should last 2 to 3 times longer than ordinary tips. In the long run they are very cost effective, especially when factoring in the protection they give to your hands, wrists, arms and shoulders. | |

The red arrows indicate the force being applied to the crutch. The blue arrow on the ground illustrates the opposing force due to friction and the tip's grip applied the other direction to prevent the crutch from sliding. Note that the more force applied, the greater the opposing force due to friction and grip, resulting in a very stable crutch. |
