On board: the “easyRESCUE” Nato version.
This version has got a double automatic activation. It activates automatically by water contact, but also with a magnetic trigger.
Normally the easyRESCUE is assembled into the lifevest and it starts automatically, after the lifevest blows up.
Boris and his team do rely on the easyRESCUE. You should do the same.
