Man Overboard Training Manikin (MOB) - Water Rescue Training Dummy - Man Overboard Simulation Mannequin

Designed and Purposed for MOB Search and Rescues 

The Ruth Lee Man Overboard (MOB) Training Dummy is ideal for in-water search and rescue training scenarios. Manufactured with rescue and retrieval situations in mind, this MOB training manikin simulates a live person, or dead body — with a dry weight 40Kg (Adult) which increases to approximately 65Kg retrieval weight when in water. This enables crews and personnel to adequately train for search and rescue scenarios under appropriate conditions, increasing the chances of a proficient rescue in a real life situation, should the time come.   

Key Features and Equipment Benefits: 

• Versatile Floating Positions: The overalls allow the manikin to float horizontally, vertically, or at a 45-degree angle, simulating the behavior of a live person or a deceased body. This flexibility can be achieved by quickly redistributing foam pieces within the overalls. *Adult and Youth Manikins Only*
• Rapid Water Penetration: The tough nylon mesh carcass facilitates quick water penetration, causing the legs to drop beneath the surface while leaving the head and shoulders visible if desired.
• Dry weight 40Kg (Adult) increases to approximately 65Kg retrieval weight from water.
• Bright orange overalls and SOLAS reflective tapeon the head make the manikin highly visible.
• Easy Handling and Storage: The strong webbing loop at the back enables effortless handling, storage, and suspension for drying purposes.
• Built in Polypropylene strips allow flexibility in the water but prevent the manikin from bending in half when using recovery devices such as a Jason’s Cradle.
• Replaceable Overalls and Boots: The package includes easily replaceable overalls and boots, allowing for convenient replacement in case of damage.
• Weight Specifications: The dry weight of the manikin is 40kg (for the adult size), while the retrieval weight from water increases to approximately 65kg.
