Fire Dept: Air Tank Deflector


I noticed in my fire fighter training that our air tanks can get caught on everything, especially ropes, cables and low hanging debris because of a large catch space between the tank and harness.

Invention idea:
  Tank hood deflector attachment for tank tops; shapes: round, flat and dome-like tank profiles
   Needs to lock securely over top of tank, just like harness tank lock.

Training: Blind obstruction navigation training.
