A life-saving tool for use on public beaches to replace the traditional lifebuoy. The Jury says Many drownings happen on beaches where there is no life-guard and the nearest potential rescuers are other people on the beach. It’s a natural human tendency to want to save drowning people, but often two people end up drowning. The Lifeboard makes it safer for the public to perform a rescue and anyone can use it. The traditional ring is difficult to swim with, but the LifeBoard makes it safer and faster to attempt a rescue.
