Moutain Rescue Training Manikin
In collaboration with Scottish Mountain Rescue, the Mountain Rescue Manikin was created to overcome the challenge of using heavy standard manikins for training scenarios involving body recovery after an avalanche on a mountain. This training dummy is made of flame retardant Polyester, which is four times stronger than P.V.C. It's filled with foam, making it lightweight and easy to move. It includes a backpack for easy transport. Our Mountain Rescue manikin is the only one in the world with RECCO® reflectors, which make avalanche victims searchable to rescuers. RECCO® detectors are used in over 800 ski resorts worldwide.
