Something unforeseen can always happen in the water. So it's very reassuring to have a RESTUBE safety buoy with you!

Johanna Werner

I spent a long time looking for a suitable safety product and then finally found the RESTUBE Safety System. It's brilliant!

Sven Bähr

Perfect product! It does exactly what it says on the tin. You can also use the RESTUBE Safety Buoy without a CO2 cartridge by blowing it up with your mouth.

Simone Paulsen

I rescued a 7-year-old boy who was completely overwhelmed and way too far out with his SUP. Would I have swum to him without my RESTUBE safety buoy? I don't think so!

    Drowning Chain of Survival: How the Rescue Chain Saves Lives

    Drowning is one of the biggest and, at the same time, most underestimated health problems worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 300,000 people drown every year. This makes drowning one of the most common causes of accidental death worldwide - and among children and young adults, one of the leading causes of preventable death of all. The real number is likely much higher, since deaths caused by floods, boating accidents, or other water-related disasters are often not included in international statistics. On top of that, many survivors are left with permanent neurological damage. Drowning can therefore cause not only death, but also considerable long-term suffering.

    Suction Currents At Weirs And Locks: The River Hazards That Are Hard to Escape

    While dramatic phenomena like large hydraulic rollers or rapids often attract attention, the more common and realistic danger in many central European rivers lies at fixed structures such as locks, weirs, and water outlets. Here, eddies and vertical suction currents develop, making these spots particularly misleading for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts - hard to see and often limited to very small areas.

    Why Drowning Happens in Silence: Recognizing Distress and Raising the Alarm

    Drowning people don't scream, they don't wave, they don't struggle visibly - the drowning process almost always unfolds in silence. This article explains how to tell a real emergency apart from harmless splashing, why the bystander effect can turn deadly even at busy swimming spots, and why raising the alarm correctly matters just as much as recognizing the danger in the first place.
