Riptide angel drowning prevention suit

Abstract

RipTide Angel Drowning Prevention Suit is a mechanical invention developed from a conversation about the effects of inclement weather while at the beach and concern for the safety of our special-needs family member prompting the idea. This invention provides the consumer with additional time to react in saving a person who may be caught in a riptide due to inclement weather, etc. enabling them to be pulled back to safety by a rope-like device that remains on land within the hand of another person in case there is a riptide or strong wave that pulls the individual in the ocean further out to sea. This practical product may reduce the incidence of riptides carrying the adult or a child offshore and possibly drowning.
