DRONES ARE KNOWN FOR KILLING PEOPLE BUT THIS ONE ACTUALLY SAVES LIVES.
Swimming is an art and not everyone can master it immediately.. it takes time. Some people find it very difficult to stay afloat and to help amateur swimmers, Microdrones in collaboration with the German Lifeguard Association has developed a low-flying drone.
According to the German Lifeguard Associations’ (GLA) Robert Rink, “One of the greatest obstacles to rescuing a drowning swimmer is that they panic and we often can’t reach them in time. After seeing what I saw here today, I have no doubt that drones will play a significant role in the near future of water rescue – and that we’ll see fewer fatalities as a result.”
The purpose of this drone is to help people stay above the surface of the water. It carries a self-inflating flotation device called the RESTUBE, which it drops as soon as it becomes airborne. This device helps the swimmer survive until the lifeguards approach and drag him/her back to the shoreline. The drone’s job is also to alert the lifeguard.
