WHAT IS "LIFE GUN"? „Life Gun ” is an invention designed to help over the water, allowing you to save a drowning person without risking your own life and health. It throws buoys inflated with CO2 cartridges attached to the gun with a rope. This enables the drowning person to easily and safely lift out of the water. The gun itself is very intuitive. Another advantage of this launcher is that it is equipped with replaceable modules. HOW IT WORKS? Life Gun throws rescue buoys (which are attached to the gun with a rope) using CO2. Buoys open automatically after being immersed in the water through a paper release. The buoy is also reusable - you just need to let the gas down, roll it up, and replace the cartridge. The gun is modular and you can replace used rope or another part of it. MOTIVATION In Poland, the death rate from drowning accidents is over 95%. Surprisingly over 80% of people weren’t under the influence of alcohol. It leads us to the conclusion that more dangerous is a lack of rescue equipment on Polish beaches than alcohol. Traditional rescue equipment is also unintuitive and dangerous. And there is no effective and safe substitute for our device on the market. PATENT Our invention has been registered with the Polish Patent Office: Nr P.444305
