Ruth Lee Man Overboard Training Manikin

It is vital that effective MOB drills are conducted frequently with regular crew members on all vessels- these manikins have proven to be a vital tool in achieving that.

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 & 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
