Claims19
A rescue device, comprising:
- a frame;
- and
- at least one flotation element connected to the frame, the at least one flotation element defining a chamber containing a volume of air and having at least one vertical load support extending within the chamber between a first flotation element portion and an opposing second flotation element portion of the flotation element;
- the at least one vertical load support comprising a first load support element and a second load support element that meet at a central location of the chamber, the first load support element extending from the first flotation element portion toward the central location of the chamber and the second load support element extending from the second flotation element portion toward the central location of the chamber, the first vertical load support element integrally molded with the first flotation element portion and the second vertical load support element integrally molded with the second flotation element portion.
