Hyde Engineering Group, Inc. Launches Innovative Frisbuoy
The Water & Ice Rescue Frisbuoy is an easy to throw rescue device that has the aerodynamics of a large frisbee. It has a sealed flotation chamber with approximately four pounds buoyancy that will keep the head of a 200 pound individual above water as they are pulled to safety by the rescuer. The 80 feet of line wound around the outside diameter of the disc uncoils as it spins while sailing through its flight path. The bright yellow rope floats on the surface and can pull over 300 pounds through the water.
In a rescue situation the rescuer grabs the looped end of the rope then throws the disc past the individual in distress and pulls it back towards the individual. The distressed individual can grab either the rope or the disc and then be steadily pulled to safety by the rescuer.
After the rescue, the line is recoiled around the outside diameter of the disc, and it is ready for another use.
