Lifeguard Uses Survival Strap In Rescue

"Hey guys, This past weekend I had the opportunity to use my Survival Strap, which doubles as my medical alert bracelet as I am deathly allergic to peanuts and all tree nuts. I lifeguard at a beach in Rhode Island, Misquamicut Beach, and was faced with a spinal rescue recovery. Now normally a spinal injury is scary enough in itself but when rescuing a large, overweight individual in high seas, it becomes a little scarier. As I started to secure the straps around the victim, I realized the torso strap was going to come up very short. Without hesitation, I immediately took my survival strap, unwound it and slid the dog tag to one end as a clamp and tied the other end securely to the other strap. Not only did this work perfectly, I also saved the gentleman from any paralysis that may have stemmed from the accident. Anyhow, thank you for making this incredible product and allowing me to pass it on to one of my drowning victims to save his life. Truly a remarkable product that I cannot commend enough." - Ryan
