Swift Water Rescue Curtain

Swift Water Rescue Curtain

The Swiftwater Rescue Curtain provides a versatile tension diagonal grab method to use in moving water.

A fast deployment grab from swollen creeks, concrete channels, low head dams and other situations when you have access to both sides of a channel.

The Curtain rests on top of the water and provides a large grab area for confused swimmers and troubled victims.

The Swiftwater Rescue Curtain is a simple and effective tool to deliver a large area for swimmers to grab or ride. The 10 foot wide by 4 foot tall area enables rescuers to position the Rescue Curtain within the width of a channel to catch a victim who is unable to help himself. When used with a tension diagonal, the Curtain works with the current to hold the swimmer as he or she is pulled to shore. This method reduces the amount of strength the swimmer needs to use to hold onto a device while being pulled out of the current to safety.

Moving water situations for the Swiftwater Rescue Curtain:
 

• Tension Diagonals
• Pulling victims onto a boat
• Hang from a bridge (downstream)
• Float in a low head dam and pull to shore
