FATAL VISION® impairment simulation goggles ‘statement of
impairment’
Fatal Vision® is an evidenced based training tool used to
vividly demonstrate the concept of impairment and the
dangers of alcohol and other drug misuse and abuse. Fatal
Vision’s purpose is not to duplicate impairment caused by a
specific level of alcohol or drug ingested by a human.
Alcohol or other drug impairment is the result of the
alcohol or other drugs’ effect on the brain. The Fatal
Vision® Goggles distort vision and cause reactions that
mimic behaviors exhibited by someone under the influence of
alcohol and other drugs. Thousands of law enforcement
personnel around the world use the Fatal Vision® Goggles in
community outreach and prevention programs. Many of these
professionals use B.A.C. (Blood Alcohol Concentration) to
describe the level of impairment exhibited by someone
wearing Fatal Vision® Goggles. It was their opinion that the
behaviors exhibited by someone wearing the Silver Label
Fatal Vision® Goggle were similar to behaviors exhibited by
someone with a B.A.C. of .17 to .20. The general opinion
shared by many of these professionals is that the Silver
Label Fatal Vision® Goggle simulates a high level of
impairment, while the Bronze Label Goggle simulates a
moderate level of impairment. Innocorp, Ltd. has adopted the
use of B.A.C. to describe the impairing effect produced by
the various levels of Fatal Vision® Goggles.
