HeliSling 6-pack
Designed in co-operation with Los Angeles County Police Department, the HeliSling is intended to provide flotation to multiple victims, while fitting compactly into the tight confines of a helicopter or high freeboard vessel. The HeliSling is also suitable for use from ships with high freeboards, such as cruise or cargo ships, or ferries.
Available in a handy 6-pack bag, individual
drop capsules provide rapid flotation to victims
in the water from the first helicopter able to
respond.
The light-weight, auto-inflating Sling allows
immediate delivery of life-saving flotation to
multiple victims in the water, providing the
time needed for rescue personnel to retrieve
individual victims, or for secondary response
vessels to respond to the scene.
The high strength Spectra webbing with a designated
hook point permits safe hoisting using a conventional
helicopter winch and line, or a ship's derrick.
The HeliSling belongs
on every helicopter that takes to the air near
a body of water, regardless of rescue experience
or ability.
A quick first response
can save lives.
