McHenry, IL – Out of concern for the safety of his fellow colleagues in their pursuit of serving the community, McHenry diver/firefighter Chris Smith unveiled his revolutionary Penguin Ice Ladder to great enthusiasm in 2008. But that was just the beginning.
Chris has now developed the x7ix Underwater Body Bag, a product that will further revolutionize public safety and enhance the efforts of rescue workers worldwide.
“As with the Penguin Ice Ladder I saw a tremendous need for improvement in recovery of drowning victims. The body bags currently being used for such recoveries are cumbersome and difficult to use. Most if not all of our recoveries are done in water with limited to zero visibility. This puts the diver in a
dangerous and stressful environment at a time when they need total awareness.”
There are an average of 3000 plus unintentional drownings annually in the U.S. alone. This creates a great risk to the Public Safety Diver. The x7ix Underwater Body Bag enables the diver to effectively and efficiently place the victim in the body bag in less than a minute unassisted. The body bag is made of a self-draining material that allows the water to drain out of the bag while providing a discreet removal of the victim maintaining the dignity of the victim and protection from public view for family and friends.
“My idea is to get the diver in and out of the water as quickly and safely as possible. The x7ix Underwater Body Bag has been well received by the diving community. Being a diver myself, I will continue to develop products to make our difficult job easier.”
The x7ix Underwater Body Bag is a product brought forth by necessity. In this day and age of safety being a primary concern the x7ix Underwater Body Bag fills a much-needed void in the dangerous operation of Public Safety Diving. The product is patent pending and available for public use.
