The rescuers at Mecklenburg Vorpommern in Germany are going to test new means of rescue in 2018, with a drone which will be capable of launching a Restube to swimmers in difficulty.
And this system could well be useful in the case of a crew member overboard on a boat. The drone is equipped with a Restube, a buoy which self-inflates on contact with the water when it is released. Once made safe by the buoy, the person in the water can wait calmly until the boat comes to rescue them.
