An article in the German computer magazine online news about
drones

Rettungs-Drohnen im Einsatz an französischen Atlantikstränden
The article is in German and includes a video

It's about rescue drones used in southern France on Atlantic beaches. The drone shall aid the rescue teams to help drowning people. The report says that help can be provided 3-5 minutes faster than a normal rescue operation since the drone can fly up to 55 km/h. This is faster than a jetski and a lot faster than a rescue swimmer. The drone can drop a flotation device and can help to judge the situation before a rescue helicopter arrives.

They tested it last year for the first time and this year they run tests with three drones in two locations.

According to a study 167 people drowned between June and September 2015 in the ocean in France.

The startup was founded by an emergency doctor and two programmers ant they hope to release the product next year
