Mustang Survival Rescue
Stick™
Wins MAATS 2007 Innovation Award For Safety
 July
23, 2007 - Bellingham, WA / Richmond, BC - The Mustang
Survival Rescue Stick™ has
been recognized with the Innovation Award for Safety at
the Marine Aftermarket Accessories Tradeshow (MAATS) in
Las Vegas, NV. Judged by a committee from Boating Writers
International, this prestigious Industry award recognizes
products for innovation, distinctiveness, benefit to consumers
and practicality.
"We are extremely
honored to receive the Innovation Award for Safety for
the Rescue Stick," said Frank Leffelaar, Manager Marketing
Services for Mustang Survival. "The panel recognized
its unique capability to rapidly provide more emergency
flotation at longer distances than other devices on the
market."
The Rescue Stick™ is
a powerful rescue tool in the hands of professionals and
recreational users. Anyone who can throw a stick can throw
it to someone in distress in the water. Designed to be
compact (14") and lightweight (just over 1lb) it can
be easily stowed in a police car trunk or emergency rescue
vehicle, on a boat, at the cabin or by the pool. When the
unexpected happens it will provide emergency flotation
to someone at risk of drowning and increase the likelihood
of self-rescue.
The Rescue Stick™:
- Can be thrown up to 100 feet - twice the distance
of a ring buoy or rope bag
- Provides 35 lb. of flotation in seconds - triple that
of a ring buoy
- Automatically inflates in seconds upon contact with
the water
- Extremely easy to use - anyone who can throw a stick
can use it
- Simple to repack and reuse - insert a new bobbin and
screw in the replacement handle containing the CO2 cylinder
