LifeBoard Ice Kit

Water safety is relevant all year round, regardless of the weather. Drowning accidents don't just happen in the warm water of summer, but also when the water hits zero.

Year-round water safety

It is often difficult to assess whether the ice can support your weight, and if you venture onto the ice anyway, there can be several reasons why the ice may not hold.

Falling through the ice and into the cold water can be life-threatening, and the thin ice can make it extremely challenging to carry out a rescue operation. That's why we have developed the LifeBoard Ice Kit, which allows you to help the distressed person from a safe distance, from the shore, or from solid ice. The Ice Kit is specifically designed for ice rescues.

Read about LifeBoard

Designed for ice and snow

Safety is always our number one priority. The safety of both victim and rescuer. That's why our rescue equipment is designed for ice-related accidents.

Our rescue equipment is specifically designed for ice-related accidents, increasing the safety of the civilian rescuer and the victim.

The new board is developed and created by the same people behind it, so safety is the number one priority.

Simple and secure

We have created a flotation device that also works for ice rescues. In this way, we contribute to civilian safety, and if an accident occurs outside the lifeguard season, relevant rescue equipment is still available for civilians.

We have therefore adapted the board for ice rescues and have implemented:

1. Simple instructions for a safe rescue on ice.
2. Safety strap with ice picks for your own safety.
3.100m safety line mounted on the LifeBoard, which can either be given to a rescuer on land or mounted on a stand.

With the ice kit as an addition to the LifeBoard, you have effective rescue equipment regardless of the season, wind, weather or water conditions.

How to use LifeBoard with ice kit on ice.
Remember that ice rescue attempts carry the risk of the rescuer falling through the ice and should, therefore, be left to professionals if possible. Attempt a rescue from shore first to avoid walking on unstable ice. 

  1. Always alert the authorities in case of an accident on ice  
  1. Give the ice kit with the 100 m safety line to a helper on land
  1. Put on the safety strap and push the LifeBoard in front of you to distribute the weight  
  1. Stop at least 10 m from the victim and push the LifeBoard over the ice to the victim
  1. Once the victim is on the LifeBoard, the rescuer and helper can pull the victim up with the safety line. Keep distance between rescuer and victim until there is safe ground.
