FRC
Kits
MOB Recovery using the Jason's
Cradle FRC (Fast Rescue Craft) Kit
The FRC kit consists of a
Jason's Cradle with stowage bag and a fixing kit that enables the Cradle
to be deployed on both the port and starboard side as required.
Deployment of the Cradle
forms a non-collapsible scoop
The FRC approaches the casualty
slowly, keeping them on the windward side and the casualty is guided in
the Cradle headfirst
A strop is pulled to close
the loop
A co-ordinated and methodical
lift takes place and the casualty is retrieved by 'rolling' him over the
tube into the rescue craft in the medically preferred horizontal position.
Even with very heavy bodies
the lift takes just a few seconds due to the Cradle's 2 to 1 mechanical
advantage. |
Stretcher
Kits
MOB Recovery using a Jason's
Cradle Floating Stretcher
When used as a floating stretcher,
the Jason's Cradle is equipped with flotation tubes and strops, which can
be adjusted to prevent snatching from a pitching vessel.
A rescue swimmer can be lowered
into the water to retrieve an unconscious casualty
Both rescuer and casualty
can be recoved on the same stretcher at the same time.
The stretcher can be operated
from a Davit Crane or block and tackle. |
Scramble
Nets
MOB Recovery using a Jason's
Cradle Scramble Net
The Jason's Cradle Scramble
Net is simply fixed to a drop-rail to enable deployment within seconds.
The Scramble net can be easily
rolled-up for stowage.
The Scramble net is rigid
so it does not deform or snag when it is deployed.
The easily accessible foot
and handhold make climbing easy for the man overboard.
If the casualty is too weak
they can be hauled aboard horizontally without being crushed in the net.
Large numbers of passengers
and crew may simultaneously disembark in the event of an emergency. |
Enclosed
Lifeboat
MOB Recovery using the Jason's
Cradle Fully Enclosed Lifeboat Kit (FELBK)
The FELBK kit consists of
a Jason's Cradle with stowage bag and a Stainless Steel mounting davit
with block and tackle.
The casualty is approached
upwind to form a lee.
The Cradle is lowered into
the water to form a scoop.
When the casualty has been
positioned centrally in the Cradle the lift is made using a block and tackle.
When the casualty is at the
correct height he may be slewed into the lifeboat hatch.
The Cradle may be used to
form a chute to help manoeuvre the casualty through the hatch and into
the lifeboat. |
