Ice Rescue Tether Reels, Bags and Slings

Safer Distance Ice Rescue Reduces Risk of Being Grabbed & Climbed On

MARSARS’ modern approach to ice rescue minimizes the potential risk of being grabbed and climbed on. The NFPA suggests that victims be placed in independent positive buoyancy upon contact.

Modern Ice Rescue Extraction Method

MARSARS’ ice rescue tether bags and reels of 300′ or less, feature a rescue sling hook-up point that is pre-rigged 6′ from the tether’s outboard terminal end. Reels greater than 300′ do not have a sling hook-up point. For assured escape, our tethers include a non-locking freeze-free carabiner. The buoyant float prevents disconnected terminal end from sinking. 

The Ice Rescue Reels now come in lengths of 300’, 600’ or 900’.

Build Your Own Ice Kit         

Both water and ice rescuers are placed at risk of being grabbed and climbed on. To counter this risk, passing buoyancy to a victim from a distance, has over time, proven to be a safer method that works. To increase ice rescuer’s safety, MARSARS has refined a method that uses a handle to extend buoyancy from a greater distance.

With numerous departments facing budget cuts.  MARSARS is now offering all of our equipment individually so you can build your own kit to fit your Departments needs and keep in budget.
