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 and 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.
Features and Benefits:
This model can float horizontally or vertically to simulate a live person or dead body - it takes seconds to move the foam pieces in the overalls to achieve this.
A loop to the back allows the manikin to be lowered into position or hung up to dry.
Bright orange overalls and SOLAS reflective tape on the head make the manikins very conspicuous in open water.
Polypropylene strips allow flexibility in and out of the water but prevent the manikin from bending in half when using stretchers or recovery devices like a Jason's Cradle.
Now has a Polypropylene strip extending from the back up through the neck and into the head to add additional support to the neck
Protective overalls and boots are user replaceable and greatly extend the life of the manikin
