• The tough nylon mesh carcass allows the water to penetrate quickly, allowing the legs to drop beneath the surface, leaving only the head visible.
• The Offshore manikin will easily withstand a fall of 5 - 6 metres into water with no damage, these manikins are tough!
• This model will float vertically to simulate a live person in the water to practice casualty recovery and to demonstrate the problems associated with sea survival (additional buoyancy aids should be used in rough waters).
• A loop to the back allows the manikin to be lowered into position or hung up to dry.
• 60Kg in weight gives a realistic weight in water or around the offshore installation. Dry weight 60Kg increases to approximately 95Kg retrieval weight from 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.
• Protective overalls and boots are user-replaceable and greatly extend the life of the manikin
