SPECIAL EVENTS
Recently
Jenkins Comfort Systems donated three Eliminators at the Lake
Thurmond Bass Tournament For The Disabled, an annual event held
in October near Augusta Georgia.
Not only does Jenkins
Comfort Systems donate systems to the winners of the events
held during the tournament, they also supply technical assistance in the event that any of the participants or bystanders
have any heat related problems.
Most people are unaware that
victims of spinal cord injuries have no way to regulate their body
core temperatures from the injury site down. Due to the fact that
their brain does not recognize the external heat to the injured
portion of their body their core temperature will continue to rise
without perspiring as a way to release the heat that they generate.
They can become victims of heat-stress related injuries very
easily.
One year during the second day of the event, Jenkins Comfort
Systems President Donny Jenkins placed
Eliminators on ten individuals who were suffering from the heat and
potential heat stress related injuries. All of the potential
victims' heat related problems were halted and reversed in 15
minutes or less by using the Eliminator systems.
Most of the
individuals that had a chance to wear an Eliminator vest to combat their heat
problems asked that they be allowed to continue wearing the
Eliminators during the remainder of the tournament.
