Built to the same tough construction standard as the General Use Manikin, the Man Overboard Water Rescue Manikin is built to simulate an unconscious victim in the water, floating at an angle of 45 degrees with just the head and shoulders above the water. It can be made to Float Horizontally by simply removing the 6 foam pieces from the front chest of the overall and add three pieces to the pockets on each leg. The secret to the performance of this manikin is the balance between the weighting and the buoyancy - the tough Nylon mesh carcass allows the water to penetrate rapidly and after a few minutes the legs will drop below the surface, resting at an angle of about 45 degrees with just the head and shoulders visible above the surface. It will take seconds to swap between a horizontally floating manikin and the standard position.

The head is color-coded with a Red face. Strong plastic strips in the manikin run from the shoulders to the knee. The strips maintain overall flexibility but don't allow the manikin to bend in half to aid with training with stretchers. The outer carcass is constructed of heavy duty open mesh reinforced with webbing. Non-absorbent closed cell foam - water absorption : 1 Day < 0.1 (DIN 53428 1986) 28 Days < 0.5% VOL.

"We think the manikin is EXCELLENT! It is working out very well for our training programs." G Dworkin.

Note: Ruth Lee is the only manikin manufacturer that provides clothing with their products. All Ruth Lee Rescue Training Manikins include coveralls. Manikins 44 lbs and up also include lug sole boots. While the strength reinforced coveralls protect the manikin, they are not deemed Wear Proof. Their specific design is to provide a replaceable, washable layer that helps protect the manikin. The coveralls are designed to wear and must be replaced so that the manikin carcass is protected. Use of the manikins should mimic that of dragging a similarly dressed victim. The wear resistance of the coveralls should be considered to be on par with clothing normally worn by the victims. The included coveralls protect the manikin when used during rescue training. The coveralls are not designed to endure the rigors of firefighter drags or physical agility training. The coveralls and boots should be seen as disposable items and should be replaced when showing signs of wear or damage in order to protect the main body of the manikin. Additional clothing is suggested for use in these activities (Even the Combat Challenge dresses their manikins in turnout Gear for this competition). Treat the coveralls as clothing. They are NOT wear proof. Protect your investment.
