(RSQSTK) Rescue Stick - Throwable Emergency Rescue Inflatable

Incredibly easy to use, the Rescue Stick™ provides rapid flotation assistance to a person at risk of drowning. Simply remove the baton shaped Rescue Stick™ from its waterproof bag and throw near the person. Once contact is made with the water it inflates in seconds to a large horseshoe shape keeping them afloat and their head above water until help arrives.

 

Measuring only 14” in length and weighing less than 1 lb., the Rescue Stick™ is the most versatile rescue flotation device available. Easily stowed in a boat, vehicle, backpack or by the pool — it will be accessible when and where you need it. Simple to repack and reuse - insert a new bobbin and screw in the replacement handle containing the CO2 cylinder.

 

Anyone who can throw a stick can throw the Rescue Stick™ to someone in distress in the water. On average the Rescue Stick™ can be thrown between 100 and 150 feet – almost triple the distance of a typical rope bag or life ring.  The inflated horseshoe will float with the person in the water.
