| Thin
ice is a trap and every year hundreds of people
fall into that trap. Victims have only minutes
to help themselves because hypothermia quickly
impairs a victim's ability to hold on to ice. It
makes him shiver violently and clouds his
thinking. As the victim's core temperature
drops, he experiences disorientation and he
becomes dangerous to the rescuers. This all
happens within minutes of entering the water!
Get
the very best equipment for ice and cold water
rescues. RESCUE ALIVE enables your rescuer to
run over very thin ice by distributing his
weight over a large surface or to paddle through
open water to reach a victim quickly. The unit
weighs 88 pounds and provides 600 pounds of
flotation. The unit is deployed by releasing one
Velcro™ strap, which is then used to tether
the modified paddle.
Your
rescuers stay out of the water; there is no need
to crawl or swim to approach a victim. Rescuers
remain on top of the surface, working from the
stable platform. The rescuer stays in control of
the victim.
