ResQ Disc
The ResQ Disc is touted as the safest, most effective water and ice rescue device as it was designed to keep the rescuer from becoming a victim themselves… many untrained individuals, in an effort to be a Good Samaritan, unthinkingly will enter the water and end up needing to be rescued as well.
RESQ DISC OVERVIEW
RESQ DISC COMPARISON
When choosing a throwable emergency water rescue device, most often people will think of the life ring which is approved by the USCG as a Type IV Personal Floatation Device (PFD).
A Type 4 PFD is required on all water vessels. However, it is just that… a floatation device. Designed to keep the victim afloat until rescuers can get to them, life rings are required to have 22 lbs. of floatation.
While ResQ Disc has more than enough pounds of floatation to keep even the heaviest individual’s head above water (5 lbs.) and is RECOMMENDED as additional equipment by USCG, its purpose to to actually RESCUE the victim while keeping the rescuer safe.
The ResQ Disc was tested by the United State Coast Guard with outstanding results. Not only was the testing team able to throw the device into 20 knot winds, they were able to deploy in under 15 seconds and redeploy in under 30 seconds.
RESQ DISC APPLICATIONS
While the main focus of Save A Life™ (manufacturer of ResQ Disc™) has been and will always be to save as many lives from drowning as possible, the company’s initial goal was to get this superior device into every squad car, fire truck, water vessel, ATV and snowmobile at first responder agencies with any type of natural water or reservoir in their jurisdiction.
