USafe Lifering from Noras Performance. You may have seen this weird horse shoe shaped life saver all over social media. It's 2017, and the future is now. Noras Performance is pushing to get the new USafe Lifering life saver out to local pools and ocean lifeguards. The USafe Lifering is a life saver that is remote controlled and can be directed to the victim in distress. This product was made to get to victims faster and to keep other people out of danger. Either from the distressed victim or perhaps a shark in an ocean lifeguards case. The USafe has exactly two jets and is steered by a remote control. Research shows that there is over 3,000 deaths from downing in the last 3 years. This is just one of the Throwable Flotation Devices. You can see more of the devices in the link below.
Question 1- Do you think this will be the next big thing in drowning rescues?
Question 2- Would you prefer having a lifeguard save you or the USafe?
Question 3- Would you like to see a USafe at Ocean Lifeguard shacks and or pools?
My Opinion-
I myself am a lifeguard and I feel that the Usafe could save a lot of time and get a distressed person out of the water quicker than a lifeguard having to jump in and swim to the victim and swim them back. I think this will defiantly be the next big thing in drowning rescues but mostly in the oceans. If I were in a local pool I think having a lifeguard is just as good, but if I were to be in the ocean I would probably prefer the USafe. I would feel safe with a USafe at a local guard shack by the ocean because drowning in the ocean is more common than in a local pool. The ocean has a lot of waves that are really strong and can just drag a person under. Pools don't have bumpy waves. Also oceans are a lot bigger and have dangerous animals in them like sharks, so having the USafe could get someone out of the water quicker. So I would say have them on the beach of an ocean and stick to lifeguards at local pools.

Great job Hayley!
I think this could work in certain situations but not all rescue situations. I think that I would rather have a life guard because they can interpret the situation better. I think it would work better at oceans than pools
Yes, I think this is a big thing and it is good, it can saves life that's awesome, I would prefer both but I would like USafe to save me because it is controlled by remote and people can know my location by using it, I would like to see a USafe at Ocean Lifeguard sharks, so that we have to know if this thing really work.
I think that it will help drowning issues. I would rather have the USafe because it does not get fatigued. It'd pry be needed at oceans more than a local swimming pool.
I agree the drowning victim rate will hopefully go down. I agree the USafe won't think twice or hesitate like a lifeguard may do. Yes, these should be more popular at oceans than pools.
I think the USafe ring will help out many cases that could lead to drowning, since not all beaches or pools have sufficient staffing. I don't really have an opinion on whether I would want to be saved by this device or an actual human, but if I was seriously close to drowning I would want there to be a human on shore that could do CPR if needed. I would definitely like to see these devices at places where people can swim, it would be another level of safety.
I agree having a lifeguard on hand will be nice because im sure the device won't be able to do CPR. That's what i've been telling others there will always be a lifeguard because the device won't be able to get a submerged victim.
Yes this could really help with saving lives faster and more effectively. A lifeguard because they are more competent and can think on their own. Yes, any help counts to save lives.
I also think this could help in the near future. Lifeguards can think on their own yes but it will be a lifeguard that is controlling the USafe. But I agree some people are afraid of the thought of a mechanical thing in water.
Yes, since it will along lifeguards to stay safe while rescuing those downing out in the sea or a pool. Eh whichever one will saves me I honestly don't care since I don't really plan on downing anytime soon. Ocean lifeguards shacks.
