14 DAY TRIAL // As some of you have probably already experienced, there are some emergency situations, when simply being located quickly by rescue teams can mean the difference between life and death.
For example, if you're trapped under debris and found within 30 minutes, you've got a 50% chance of survival. The perfect solution today would be these small, lightweight emergency beacons. The only problem is that the models that are being marketed haven't proven economically attractive yet.
Somebody finally decided to bring a breath of fresh air to the industry, a Russian electronics firm to be more specific, and has made its emergency beacon designs and expertise available free of charge, meaning they'll actually going to change some things around. Consequently, Electronics Design Company, or else Tancher Corporation, will give away for free the design rights to its life saving personal locater radio beacon to help the Australians (and not only) that trapped in life and death situations and are in need of help real quick.
Furthermore, the US and Russian-based company developed the tiny beacon as part of the Tancher Electronics Social Safety Initiative, which aims to encourage government and industry to make life saving devices more accessible and popular. Maybe they're going to focus on some social campaigns in the near future.
The life saving beacon, which also doubles as a USB flash memory, is worn on the wrist and, when activated, emits a "distress signal helping rescue teams to quickly locate the wearer". According to Gizmag: "research shows people trapped under debris who are found within 30 minutes have a 50% chance of survival compared with less than 10% for those found after three hours (Russian Ministry of Force Major Situations.)"
"This beacon will assist authorities locate missing bush walkers or those trapped under debris caused by explosions, cave-ins and earthquakes. The lack of availability of these devices is not due to large design and production expenses but because many businesses do not consider the safety industry commercially attractive.", Tancher President, Dr Anton Tyruin stated for Gizmag.
