PRODUCT FACT
SHEET
“We kept wondering why they couldn’t
see us.”
It’s an all-too-common scenario in search
and rescue missions; aircraft fly overhead,
unable to see survivors. No matter how much
they
flail their arms, people are little more than
a speck.
RescueStreamer®, the brainchild
of geo-chemist Dr. Robert Yonover, was borne
following a frightening
single-engine Cessna flight. He wondered how
he’d
be seen, let alone rescued. A week later, Yonover
saw artist Christo’s pink plastic wrapping
of the islands in Biscayne Bay, and his question
was answered.
“I just said if I could unroll a little
pink piece of plastic behind me, then [rescuers]
could see me.”
Of course, it had to float. It also had to remain
unfurled, regardless of wind conditions. It had
to be light enough to carry, easy enough to deploy
(even if injured) and visible over any terrain.
These were the complications of a seemingly simple
invention, and after 11 years of research and
development, the revolutionary RescueStreamer® was introduced.
Since then, RescueStreamer® has undergone
countless independent tests and is now approved
for use by all branches of the US military. RescueStreamer® is
available in several sizes, both online and
in local retail outlets.
