Man Overboard Training Manikins

It is vital that effective MOB drills are conducted frequently with regular crew members on all vessels; these manikins have proven to be a vital tool in achieving that. The secret to the performance of this manikin lies in the balance between its weighting and buoyancy; the tough Nylon mesh carcass allows water to penetrate rapidly. 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.

Key Features & Benefits:

• This model can float horizontally or vertically to simulate a live person or a dead body – it takes seconds to move the foam pieces in the overalls to achieve this. *Adult and Youth manikins only.
• A loop to the back allows the manikin to be lowered into position or hung up to dry.
• Bright orange overalls and SOLAS reflective tape on the head make the manikins very conspicuous in open water.
• Polypropylene strips allow flexibility in and out of the water but prevent the manikin from bending in half when using stretchers or recovery devices like a Jason’s Cradle.
• Now has a Polypropylene strip extending from the back up through the neck and into the head to add additional support to the neck.
• Protective overalls and boots are user-replaceable, greatly extending the life of the manikin.
