IDEAL FOR THE FOLLOWING TRAINING SCENARIOS:
Specially designed to be transported to locations which are difficult to access, and also suitable for use by mountain search and rescue professionals. RECCO® reflectors built in to the manikin are searchable by transceivers commonly used by avalanche rescue teams in over 800 ski resorts worldwide. (See www.recco.com for more information).
SPECIAL MATERIALS:
Constructed from the same flame retardant material used in Police ballistic/stab vests, offering 4x the strength and abrasion resistance of 16oz canvas or P.V.C. (conforms to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, BS EN ISO 12947-2 & 14116: 2008). High density polypropylene webbing (25mm rated to 207 Kg, 50mm rated to 440Kg). RECCO® reflectors
Originally developed in conjunction with Scottish Mountain Rescue, these manikins are lighter and help set a training scenario for mountain rescue teams, including avalanches.​
The Mountain Rescue Manikin was originally developed in conjunction with Scottish Mountain Rescue. Our standard manikins were too heavy to be able to carry up a mountain to set a training scenario for body recovery following an avalanche so we were asked if we were able to create something that would fit their brief.
We are pleased to say that this has been achieved and the Mountain Rescue manikin is the result.
The manikin is made from the same flame retardant Polyester used in Police ballistic/stab vests, which typically has 4 times the strength and abrasion resistance of P.V.C (the materials previously used) and is filled with foam to give the bulk and firmness of a body whilst being lightweight and easy to manoeuvre. The manikin also comes complete with a backpack that enables the manikin to be folded in half and easily transported.
We have now integrated RECCO® reflectors into the Mountain Rescue manikin to make it the only Avalanche Training Manikin in the world to utilise this rescue system. The RECCO® reflector makes an avalanche victim searchable to professional rescuers. It is a complement to a transceiver and RECCO® detectors are used by rescue teams in over 800 ski resorts worldwide.
