Three-part integrated notification system Crowd Cushion™ developed by Comprise Technologies, Inc. protects both concertgoers and event management teams.
NAVESINK, N.J., March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Comprise Technologies, Inc. introduces Crowd Cushion™ - a revolutionary safety system that senses pressure on crowd control barriers and warns event management in real time. The ultimate goal? To provide the entertainment industry with a tool to prevent crowd crush injuries, or worse, at live music and sporting events. Developed in time for an extensive pilot program on the Summer Stage at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, N.J., Comprise seeks to push Crowd Cushion™ to become the new standard for stage front crowd safety for venues and events across the nation.
The vision of Catherine Curtin, a University of South Carolina graduate motivated to act following her own stressful experiences at high-profile festivals, Crowd Cushion™ provides instant visual identification of the exact barriers experiencing excess pressure and immediately communicates to event management via an integrated Control Center system.
"Catherine means the world to our family so we could not help but feel heartbroken for the families and friends affected by tragedies that have happened at recent events," said Dan Curtin, President of Comprise. "Following Catherine's own personal stressful experiences at major events, we jumped at the opportunity to provide the resources and expertise to help her bring her vision to life."
Crowd Cushion™ consists of three integrated components:
- Attendee-facing barrier cushions with embedded pressure sensors. Heavy marine grade vinyl and rugged duty sensing technology enables Crowd Cushions™ to stand up to both energetic fans and adverse weather.
- Control Center configuration interface with real time data visualization and reporting. Settings for cushion sensors can be adjusted to meet individual venues' needs and the status of all cushions is displayed on the Control Center software dashboard.
- State-of-the-art communication technologies. Crowd Cushion™ text messages warn management while alert lighting on the back of the pressured barriers warn stage front security so they can see exactly where the problem is, and quickly troubleshoot the safety issue.
Every Crowd Cushion™ unit is carefully assembled and tested at the Comprise Technologies, Inc. facility in Navesink, N.J., is designed to adapt to different barrier brands/layouts and features a quick attach/remove mounting bracket.

IMPORTANT: Crowd Cushion™ is NOT a crowd control device, nor is it designed to reduce, distribute, or otherwise attenuate any force exerted on a barrier. Crowd Cushion™ function is strictly limited to the identification and notification of force on a cushion-equipped barrier. No other function, purpose, role, or responsibility may be ascribed to Crowd Cushion™ and if done so, is specifically disavowed.
