Extreme sports enthusiasts worried about their safety
while on the slopes or partaking in their favourite extreme activity may be
interested in a new extreme sports rescue system designed by Egeon Technology,
which has this month been launched via Kickstarter to raise the € 75,000
required by the team to take the rescue system into production.
The find and rescue system is a next-generation
adaptation of the company’s existing rescue system developed for emergency
environments. Watch the promotional video below to learn more about the system
which has been designed for skiers, bikers, hikers and any other extreme sports
where safety could be a factor.
With the help of Kickstarter funding the company
hopes to expand the functionality of their rescue system to incorporate a
number of new features. Including a universal device able to adapt to the
different user’s needs and activity throughout specific complements, a new box
design suitable for bikers and hikers. With a water-resistant design according
to IP65/67 certification, new functionality options, new electronic design and
a native companion application that will allow users to adjust settings on both
the Android and iOS platforms.
Pledges are currently available from € 99 for early
bird backers with shipping expected to take place during July 2018 if the
Kickstarter campaign is successful.
