14-Year-Old LOOP-LOC Saves Boys In Runaway SUV

JoAnn Burgess and her daughter Lynda of Mahwah, New Jersey, were shocked one afternoon, to see a black Ford Explorer roll through their backyard and land in their swimming pool. Inside the large SUV were two young boys who had apparently entered the vehicle to listen to the radio when it slipped into gear and rolled downhill. Luckily for the hapless passengers, the Burgess's pool was covered by a LOOP-LOC Safety Swimming Pool Cover.

The LOOP-LOC, "which was purchased in 1988 and used every winter since then, never ripped," JoAnn writes. "It did sink down some with the weight. . .of the SUV, but [it] kept the vehicle afloat enough so we could get the two boys trapped inside out. It also prevented the rear end of the SUV from slipping into eight feet of water at the deep end of the pool."

"Everyone at the scene was truly impressed by your cover," JoAnn continues. "In this day and age it's good to know that there are companies like yours that really produce a superior product. Needless to say, our new cover will be another LOOP-LOC!"
