Ice Rescue Sled Kits
Ice Rescue Safety Sled
IRSS
Used Nationwide by the U.S. Coast Guard, this sled was purpose built to save lives from a safer distance. Used properly, rescuer stops a sled length away, dismounts, and extends the empty sled for victim's self rescue attempt. With forearm through orange-colored sling, patient is gently hauled aboard by shore-based line tender(s).
If the semi/unconscious, patient is placed in buoyant sling, connected to sled's 4:1 ratio haul system and gently pulled aboard. Sled provides shielding to both patient and rescuer.
All kits includes: Sled, buoyant Cold Water Sling, and Ice Rescue Reel
