Life Rings, Float Cushions, Throwable Rescue Devices

Keeping yourself and others safe while boating, on the dock, or at the pool, is crucial. One of the most important pieces of safety equipment to have on hand is a life ring or throwable rescue device. These devices not only provide buoyancy and aid in flotation, but they also serve as a visual marker for rescuers to locate someone in distress. Understanding USCG and local regulations around safety equipment is important too. Life rings made with vinyl coated closed-cell foam or high impact linear low-density polyethylene are durable and can withstand the most severe environments. Proper mounting and storage is vital to ensure quick and easy access in case of an emergency. Remember, investing in these safety measures can mean the difference between life and death in an emergency situation.
