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.

Cold Water Rescue Sling

As a cold water rescue flotation device (RFD), the MARSARS non-constrictive sling is passed by hand or pole from a safer distance.

To minimize ice mantle breakage, a sling attached pole is extended for child rescue atop thinner, unstable ice.

MARSARS Cold Water Rescue Sling

RPG

This sling is a cold water rescue flotation device (RFD) used to outfit a victim with independent positive buoyancy.

• RPG Sling increases rescuer’s reach by 33″
• Provides approximately 16 lbs of buoyancy

200’/300′ Ice Rescue Tether Kit w/ Sling, Handle, & Bag

TIR 20H (200′)/TIR 30H (300′)

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.
