There is no safer or quicker way to rescue victims from ice or water. Rescuers simply point the carry/deployment case toward the victim and pull just one cord. Within seconds the specially designed tubes inflate simultaneously, shooting a 30, 50 or 80 foot ramp out over ice and open water. LifeRamps can easily be portaged across ice floes or linked bow-to-stern over open water to distant victims, | ideal for airport rescue. LifeRamps are so stable that medical treatment can be safely administered on board while assistants maneuver the ramp with safety and pivot lines. And repacking LifeRamp takes only minutes. Now in use by the U.S. Coast Guard, at airports in Boston, Anchorage and Washington D.C. and by fire fa departments across Canada. m1] LifeRamp is a patented product.
