DUTY MANIKINS FOR MOUNTAIN RESCUE

The most versatile manikins for most rescue scenarios typically practiced by operational members, including: wide area search exercises, avalanche rescues, rope work for steep ground or crag situations. They are perfect for training with other teams or multi agency exercises involving RAF helicopters, ambulance and police services.
Now constructed in the waterproof Polyester: conforms to BS EN ISO 6330), OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 and ISO 17050-1 - these manikins can safely be used in all weather conditions. The material typically has 4 times the strength and abrasion resistance and canvas or P.V.C – making the manikins even stronger than before

Note, that for training exercises in water we would recommend the use of one of our water rescue manikins, which are specially designed to float horizontally or vertically in the water, or sink, depending on the rescue scenario.
