TRAINING
Anyone who can throw a stick can throw the Rescue Stick™ to someone in distress in the water.
On average the Rescue Stick™ can be thrown between 100 and 150 feet – almost triple the
distance of a typical rope bag or life ring. The inflated horseshoe will float with the person in the
water. Regular training will improve throwing accuracy and victim survival rates.
Practise throwing the Rescue Training Stick MRD050 to either dry land or in-water targets of varied
distances. Remember to aim near the target (or victim) for maximum effectiveness. Repeat exercise
until confident with the Rescue Stick™. You can order the MRD050 Training Stick through our
customer service department. More information and suggestions on how to organize a training
session or throwing competition can be found on our web site.
WARNING: To avoid damage, don't use your Rescue Stick™ for dry land training. Always
re-arm your Rescue Stick™ after inflation.
