This life preserver inflates instantly when it hits the water

Summertime is here and it’s time for fun on the water!  Don’t let the fun turn to tragedy!  This is something all swimming pools, boats and beaches need for life saving!

The OneUp is a tiny throw able life-preserver that expands, inflates, and opens up upon contact with the water. With these capabilities, you can throw it far into the water, in the direction of the person in need.

The OneUp uses a sensor that’s used in aeronautical and naval security that will automatically deploy once it detects a certain amount of water. It uses a salt pod that, once dissolved, releases a spring to activate the opening of a CO2 container which then inflates the inter-tube.  How long for it to inflate?  It all happens within two seconds!

It’s also completely reusable!  The cost is $199.  But to have it on hand to save a life is priceless!  It being reusable seems to make it even more worth it!  All you will have to do is roll it back up into the container, and replace the salt pod and CO2 container.

Regular life preservers are big and bulky…sometimes awkward to throw, but the Oneup can be purchased by anyone, and it’s portable, making it easy to take on any trip!  Plus, it’s easier to throw in the direction of the person that needs it.

 

This is an amazing life saving tool for summer time around the water!
