Ice Rescue Safety Sled Kits [MARSARS]

DRS loves the MARSARS ice rescue sleds as they come pre-rigged, ready for immediate use.

A modern, safer approach to Ice Rescue, the Ice Rescue Safety Sled is used across the United States by the U.S. Coast Guard.

This purpose-built sled is extended from a safe distance to a victim that can then assist in their own rescue. When used properly, a rescuer stops a sled length (6') away, dismounts, and extends the empty sled for the victim's self-rescue attempt. With one or both forearms through the orange-coloured sling, a patient is gently hauled aboard by shore-based line tender(s).

Should a patient be semi or unconscious, they are placed into the buoyant sling, connected to the sled's 4:1 ratio haul system and gently pulled aboard, minimizing handling which leads to more positive outcomes in hypothermic victims
