Turtle Plastic’s TURTLE TUBE GRAIN SILO RESCUE SLEEVE was designed and developed by farmers and rescue workers to save lives in the event of a grain silo accident. It takes just five seconds for a person to become engulfed by flowing grain; it takes 60 seconds to become completely submerged, risking death by suffocation.
The TURTLE TUBE expands to allow breathing room around the victim as it is forced into the grain around the patient. When coiled, the 18-pound Turtle Tube is 18 inches in diameter. Deploy quickly by loosening two giant stainless-steel wingnuts. The Turtle Tube comes with a carrying bag and a shoulder strap.www.turtleplastics.com.(800) 756-6635.
