The HURST splinter shield provides reliable protection from the glass splinters that arise when the pane is removed for accident victims and is indispensable for properly rescuing injured patients. Depending on the accident situation and the condition of the injured person, it can be used with transparent windows or with a completely closed surface.

On standard steel vehicle roofs, the splinter shield is held in place by strong magnets. If the vehicle chassis is made from aluminum or plastic, a special belt is provided which tightens the splinter shield with a Velcro strip. At the lower edge foam has been sewn into the shield that adheres well and is pressed in between the windshield and the instrument panel.
