I have no doubt that the LifeBoard is the right choice for the beach. It was a good decision to replace the lifebuoy.

[LifeBoard] is definitely one of the better things (...) It's easier to swim with the Lifeboard and it provides more buoyancy

Many municipalities have already installed LifeBoards on Danish coasts

We're pleased that many municipalities have already invested in improving water safety on their beaches. Should your municipality be next?

Is LifeBoard safe to use?

LifeBoard is designed with special care to provide life-critical buoyancy for both the rescuer and the distressed individual. Therefore, we have designed LifeBoard with:

1. a safety strap to ensure that the equipment is not lost during a rescue operation

2. Nine handles that provide stabilization for multiple distressed individuals. 

3.A foam-filled core that ensures buoyancy even if the plastic shell is damaged

Leading research in the field states that 97% of all fatal drownings occur during rescue attempts without the use of buoyancy aids. This recognizes buoyancy aids as a critical element in increasing the safety of both the rescuer and the victim.

Therefore, it is of utmost importance that civilian rescuers take a buoyancy aid with them. Where other buoyancy aids may provide buoyancy for 1-2 people, we have designed LifeBoard with buoyancy for up to six people. That's why we believe LifeBoard is the best choice for a high buoyancy rescue device for civilian lifesaving.

Is LifeBoard simple to use?

LifeBoard is developed with the vision that our rescue equipment should be usable by everyone. LifeBoard is therefore designed for and tested by more than 200 civilian users with different water skills, gender, age and background. We have collected data from our tests and continuously optimized and adjusted the equipment so that as many people as possible have good conditions for using the equipment. This does not mean that everyone can and should perform a civilian rescue. It means that if you feel able to stop the accident, we have done everything we can to give you the best conditions to do just that.

Because rescue is never simple, but we believe LifeBoard is the simplest and safest option for civilian rescue equipment.

Who can use LifeBoard?

Lifesaving is not for everyone. In LifeBoard, we also allocate a portion of our time and resources to preventive efforts. If people learn how to behave in open water, fewer and fewer will end up in tragic drowning situations

That said, it's a fact that people go into the water to save each other. We strongly encourage assessing the situation before entering the water, but also understand that a father doesn't wait on land while his daughter is drowning. That's why LifeBoard is designed for anyone who finds it necessary to perform a civilian rescue.

One should always call 1-1-2 before attempting a rescue, and one should avoid entering water conditions that they are not comfortable swimming in. If one does enter such conditions, they should always bring rescue equipment.

If a rescue device, such as a LifeBoard, is brought along, both the rescuer's and the distressed person's buoyancy are increased. The distressed person is often in a state of panic or shock and may tend to grab onto the rescuer. If the rescuer does not have a flotation device, it can, in unfortunate cases, result in the unintended drowning of the rescuer.  Therefore, it is absolutely essential for the rescuer to carry a flotation device for civilian lifesaving.
