5.6 Salvage from water (only with supplementary set Marine)
Floating devices are the standard equipment for a RollUP when It is used in water.
There is one float device on the right side, and one float device on the left side of the
RollUP required for the correct function.
Basically, 2 floats are the minimum requirement to create the necessary buoyancy so
that the RollUP does not sink in the water.
An additional inflatable pillow increases the buoyancy a little in the water - but is not
absolutely necessary.
For use in the sea (swell) a foot weight as well as a breast float is required. This
"Marine Set" ensures an upright / vertical position of the RollUP in the water, and turns
the RollUP automatically in the event of a possible tipping into the "head up position".
It is recommended to install the floats as soon as contact with water is possible.
During a recovery in the water, never leave the RollUP unattended.
When the RollUP tips over - there is a risk of drowning for the patient.
