Helicopter Survival Technology

Shark Group has created a range of award winning products for the safety and comfort of helicopter passengers.  These include passenger suits, thermal linings and re-breather systems including Air Pocket Plus and the LAP Lifejacket Air Pocket Plus.

Shark re-breather systems have been developed to address “Cold Shock”, an involuntary response to immersion in cold water and to support the user during the underwater escape from a helicopter which has ditched in the sea.
