Be prepared. These drones equipped with inflateable devices for surf lifesaving are about to go into service at beaches around Sydney. This is good news for drones and surfers.

How cool is that, something positive rather than negative that we’ve had other the last 6 weeks.

Land Pod
The Little Ripper developed and designed ULB Land Pod© contains: a miniature automatic external defibrillator (AED); EPIRB personal location beacon; thermal blanket; radio; V sheet for rescue; and basic first-aid kit.

Incredible Stuff!

Great stuff. We should be publicising all the positive stories about drones. We should create a file that the media can draw on to counter their endless repetitive roll outs of the same old scary negative story about drones.
