Surf Rescue Training Manikin

Introducing the Surf Rescue Training Manikin: Enhance Water Rescue Training for Lifeguards and IRB Racing

The Surf Rescue Training Manikin is a specially designed water rescue manikin developed in collaboration with Surf Life Saving Australia. It serves as an invaluable tool for various water rescue practices, including General Surf Rescue, IRB Racing, IRB driver training, Tube Rescue practice, Jet Ski rescue training, and other general rescue scenarios. With two years of development, multiple prototypes, and extensive testing, this manikin has received high praise from professionals in the field.

Train year-round, regardless of weather conditions, with the Surf Rescue Training Manikin. It eliminates the challenges of finding willing volunteers to act as patients during practice sessions, particularly in colder months. With this manikin, lifeguards and IRB rescue teams can develop their skills without limitations. It provides uniformity in size and weight, which is crucial for competitions and training exercises.

Product Features and Benefits:

• Manageable Size: The manikin is shortened to 1.5m, ensuring ease of handling for a range of rescuers and facilitating realistic rescue scenarios.
• Variable Weight: The dry weight of the manikin is reduced to 20kg, which increases to approximately 40+kg when pulled from the water, replicating the weight of a live casualty.
• Enhanced Stability: Weighting is strategically positioned from the torso to the hips, improving stability in challenging sea conditions.
• Drag Reduction: The manikin features durable PVC sleeves on the lower legs instead of boots, reducing drag during extraction and enhancing maneuverability in water.
• Realistic Arm Positioning: The manikin's arms are built aloft to simulate a volunteer "patient," eliminating the risk of dislocated shoulders or wrists during training sessions.
• Convenient Handling: A polypropylene loop on the back allows for easy lowering into position or hanging the manikin up to dry after use.
• High Visibility: The bright orange overalls and SOLAS reflective tape on the head ensure excellent visibility in open water, enhancing safety during training exercises.
• Flexible Design: Polyethylene strips running from the shoulders to the knees provide flexibility in and out of the water while maintaining structural integrity.
• Longevity and Cost-Effectiveness: User-replaceable protective overalls significantly extend the life of the manikin, ensuring long-term use and reducing maintenance costs.
