A dramatic rescue took place last week that saved the lives of a father and son out on a snowmobile trip, when their vehicle fell through the ice on Lake Ripple in Grafton, Massachusetts (http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/02/04/father-and-son-rescued-after-snowmobile-falls-through-ice-on-grafton-lake/). During the winter months when temperatures drop and bodies of water freeze over, many people take to the ice to enjoy winter sports and adventure. Situations can often turn deadly with rescuers risking their own lives while trying to save these victims from their dangerous predicaments. When diving in after them may not be the safest option, responders need to rely on other equipment like ladders to get them back on dry land.
Whether those in distress need to be rescued from frigid waters, automobiles, or burning buildings, the equipment used to accomplish these rescues must be safe and reliable. Materials testing should be a part of every manufacturing process for rescue equipment to ensure reliability. Whether it is for corrosion testing, mechanical testing, or any other type of materials testing, Laboratory Testing provides a full array of testing services to meet your needs.
