Is the Vita Rescue System (VRS) waterproof? Absolutely! Designed to excel in diverse search-and-rescue scenarios, including maritime rescues, the VRS is not only waterproof but also highly versatile in various water conditions such as fresh water, swift water, and salt water, with the capability to function for 30 minutes at depths of up to 1 meter. For optimal performance, it's recommended to rinse the VRS with fresh water following a salt water rescue. This ensures that the device maintains its top-notch functionality and durability, ready to save lives in any environment.

In critical moments, you need a rescue device that is both effective and user-friendly. The Pelican™ stands out as the perfect solution, requiring less than 30 seconds to secure the patient and initiate the rescue operation. While this innovative tool excels in various scenarios, it was specifically designed for swift and open-water extractions. Unlike alternative devices, the Pelican™ not only eliminates the risk of losing the victim during extraction but also reduces the physical and psychological strain on both the rescuer and the rescued.

OTD 2018: We question the wisdom of departing a bright, spot lit, landing site to fly over a remote area with little cultural light on a moonless night. We also look at how long it really takes for eyes to acclimatise to total darkness. https://lnkd.in/d_XBA8H #helicopter #accident #flightsafety #aviationsafety #humanfactors

If we didn't induce the spin, there would be nothing but a static image of a rescue litter to see.
