For the first time, drones equipped with Restube-buoys will
be used on the Baltic Sea coast in Germany to give help to swimmers in
distress. Start-Up company RESTUBE GMBH equipped the lifeguards of the German
Red Cross division with its safety device for drones for all 14 beaches at the
Baltic Sea.
Water Rescue in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania started
officially at the beginning of the 2018 swimming season. Restubes do not
replace lifeguards but the time until the person in water receives flotation
assistance can be reduced radically with its deployment. Once the Restube-buoy
is dropped, it inflates automatically with water contact so that the rescued
person can hold on until a lifeguard arrives.
The lifeguards of the German Red Cross Division operate 18
Restube equipped drones at 14 beach sections at the Baltic Sea as well as on
four inland lakes.
