BAABS: Standing while blasting using BAABS

BAABS is beneficial in blasting surfaces below the operator. Blasting downward typically requires the operators to bend over for extended periods so that the blast nozzle is close enough to the surface for an effective blast. Bending over for an extended period is both difficult and uncomfortable. BAABS not only manages the thrust of the nozzle but also allows the operators to stand normally, without bending over, and blast the surface under them. This additional reach is more comfortable and gives the blaster more range of motion as they sweep left and right with the nozzle, increasing their productivity
