I recently spent time demonstrating the vest for a visiting nurse group who were interested. And the youngest nurse there (go figure) was suffering from a back strain and did not want to participate in the active part of the demonstration where I ask everybody to play the part of the semi-ambulatory resident in addition to doing the actual transfer itself as caregiver. She reluctantly put the vest on and allow herself to be transferred discovering there was no discomfort (thanks to the energy dispersing design). She then tentatively agreed to try a transfer and discovered that with the straight back and rocking technique for lifting..not a twinge. Needless to say, she is a convert!
