Water Rescue Training Manikin

Man Overboard Water Rescue Manikin

Built to the same tough construction standard as the General Use Manikin, the Ruth Lee Man Overboard Water Rescue Manikin is built to simulate an unconscious victim in the water, floating at an angle of 45 degrees with just the head and shoulders above the water.

The secret to the performance of this manikin is the balance between the weighting and the buoyancy. - the tough nylon mesh carcass allows the water to penetrate rapidly, resulting in a 25kg weight gain. After a few minutes, the legs will drop below the surface, resting at an angle of about 45 degrees, with just the head and shoulders visible above the surface. The average wet weight of the adult size is approximately 121 lbs after being in the water for only a few minutes.

The manikin can be made to float horizontally by simply removing the six foam pieces from the front chest of the overall and adding three pieces to the pockets on each leg. Swapping between a horizontally floating manikin and the standard position take only seconds.

The head is color-coded with a red face. Strong plastic strips in the manikin run from the shoulders to the knee. The strips maintain overall flexibility but don't allow the manikin to bend in half to aid with stretcher training. The outer carcass is constructed of heavy-duty open mesh reinforced with webbing.
