Beaches and coasts, especially along with travel resorts and tourist destinations, often have lots of swimmers in peak seasons or even all year long. Lifeguards sitting on watchtowers have to be vigilant to swimmers who may face random incidents.
Marinas, docks, and ports are places where drownings may happen in higher frequencies. Traditionally lifebuoys (life rings) are placed at intervals for use during emergencies.
Since boats, yachts, and vessels typically have compact spaces, they would prefer equipment that takes up less room. Our lifesaving devices are designed for use by single persons during an emergency.
