Majestic's SAFE-T-BAR(TM) Featured on CBS
Affiliate Television Station in Pacific Northwest
Segment Excerpt
- 'A safe alternative to school bus seatbelts' -
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 15 Majestic Transportation Products, Ltd.,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Majestic Companies, Ltd.
(OTC Bulletin Board: MJXC), today announced that the Company's proprietary
safety restraint for school buses, the SAFE-T-BAR(TM) was featured on
Seattle's local CBS affiliate, KIRO channel 7, on Tuesday, February 13, 2001.
A summary of the showcased segment, titled "A Safe Alternative to School
Bus Seatbelts," can be viewed online at
http://www.seattleinsider.com/partners/kirotv/consumer/2001/02/schoolbus.html.
The article addresses the issue of children's safety on public school buses
and the need for federal mandates. Requests for mandatory restraints on
public school buses have been repeatedly denied due to the lack of a strong
argument in favor of seat belts. Majestic Transportation has created a
solution that could resolve the issues regarding children's public
transportation safety-the SAFE-T-BAR(TM).
The newscaster cited the advantages of the SAFE-T-BAR, stating, "In a
rollover situation it stays in place while giving a child or adult something
to hang on to while they manage their escape, unlike a seatbelt which, when
released, can send a child falling several feet."
The Majestic Companies president and COO, Steven Rosenthal, said, "We are
very excited about the coverage our proprietary SAFE-T-BAR is receiving.
Being featured on Seattle's local news is another step toward the national
coverage we strive for as part of our marketing campaign initiatives. We look
forward to future media awareness and expanded coverage throughout the United
States."
