On May 17, 2025, the German news outlet rbb24 showcased what modern water rescue looks like—during a large-scale emergency drill at Berlin's iconic Wannsee lake. At the center of the scenario: a self-inflating flotation device designed to save lives when every second counts. At RESTUBE, this is exactly what drives our mission every day.
When Every Second Counts: The Power of Compact Rescue Technology
The broadcast simulated a realistic emergency situation: a person in distress in the water, supported by a coordinated rescue response from land, air, and sea. In such scenarios, time and clarity are critical. That’s where the self-inflating system RESTUBE AUTOMATIC truly shines.
In contact with water, the yellow rescue device inflates within seconds. It offers instant buoyancy, high visibility, and orientation—both for the person in distress and for rescuers. And thanks to its compact size, it can be worn, carried, or thrown easily.
What the report demonstrates is our daily commitment: making water activities safer—from recreational use to professional rescue missions. RESTUBE products are already in use with lifeguards, police, firefighters, and international rescue teams.
The rbb24 coverage confirms: modern technology can save lives—when it’s actually available and in use. We’re proud that RESTUBE is becoming a trusted tool in more and more professional rescue operations. But even more important is raising awareness beyond the professional sphere—to recreational users, families, and event organizers.
Because safety starts before the emergency—with preparation, awareness, and the right equipment.
