I'm really surprised to see the emergency and rescue services of my U.K. friends across the pond a little behind in this type of technology. The drone being used in this video is the SwellPRO Splashdrone, I own it's little brother the SwellPRO Spry, both are very capable drones, and as far as consumer professional hobby class drones, the best waterproof drones on the market, but they have been available for at least 5 or 6 years now. They have been widely used for recreational offshore fishing, especially large blue fin Tuna, where the drone can fly out a couple hundred meters and spot the fish and drop the lure/line right in the middle of the fish. There are industrial class drones that are much more advanced and capable of rescue operations available, but of course at a much higher price tag. I did notice at the end of the video that these drone rescue programs are paid for privately by the beach owners, which explains things a little better. I guess my question is, with the U.S. failing our citizens in providing us with a national healthcare system, and the U.K. having such a better attitude of healthcare being a basic right, I'm really surprised to see this rescue program not being funded by the government in any way. Am I missing something? This was a great news story, and I'm really glad to see private citizens stepping up, just curious about the funding not being at least partially paid for by government rescue services. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide me with, I've been involved with drone rescue operations for about a decade now, cheers.
coast guard, life boats are charities; I doubt if govt interested in funding, NHS isnt linked. More likely terrorism and drug crime, reasons things cant be legally dropped by drones
The organizations involved in this are charities. Beach life guards however may get a donation from the local government but they may also not get a donation. The coast guard will co ordinate a rescue and their the official government body that deals with these incidents and requests for assistance
Wow, rarely do we get comments like yours, full of fact and direct knowledge, the internet held so much promise, but rarely is that promise kept. Thank you.
Why is the UK behind everyone else, these life saving rescue Unammed Aerial Vehicles, have been around and in use since 2015, in the Noth and South Pacific Ocean Countries, also in use in Indian Ocean Countries. Even in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, plus along the Eastern Seaboard of the USA and Canada too. With European Nations along the Northern Coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, as well as European Countries around the Baltic Sea too, plus some North Altantic European Coastline Countries too. When it comes to the UK, we always seem to be trailing in last place once again!
Good idea. Just a few more iterations and we'll have a large enough drone that not only can fly out to the stranded swimmer but drop a ladder for them and fly them back to the beach! Or at least tow them back to the beach? :)
sounds good for conscious people in distress. but what about unconsciousness? quite often one get's hit by a wave or one swallows water and then there is of course the struggle against drowning and fear of imminent death which can also send you directly into unconsciousness.
@@stewartstewartstewart so? If a drone can’t get to you in time a human would have arrived even later. Not sure what the argument is here … they are not saying drones will save everyone. Just that drones will help some people that might have drowned if a flotation device or lifeguard arrived too late.
Interesting, but why did you even bother getting in the COLD water if you had to SIMULATE the actual drop/rescue??? I would have just used and illustration or photo.
Nice idea, but they're assuming the victim has basic swimming skills and the strength to grab on to the flotation device. Keep at it. Hopefully they can fix the obvious bugs in their idea.
Had to simulate the rescue because "you're not allowed to drop something out of the sky (even a life preserver) without permission"?. That's redickerous.
The rescue tube that the drone was carrying was different to the one she was holding in the water? As a beach lifeguard my self I have to say this ain’t anything special
I can't believe I had to scroll down so far to find this comment! This lame excuse for a 'rescue' clearly didn't even work - the BBC 'blagging it' as usual.
@@b43xoit no there legit 2 different items. Can’t trust tv I’ve had a bit of experience with it and the amount they’ll fake to make something interesting would blow your mind away!
If they could just make a swarm of drones that can automatically lock onto something, like a rescuepod or whatever and then drag and even lift it up while all the drones are synced with eachother. Would be very usefull for cruiseships etc.
4-arm drones suck in bad air, consider counter-rotating helicopter style, far better power in bad air, study Sikorsky style with/without a pusher prop a reaction. Hth 🕊
@@theloniousm4337 yes, but I want site sources of video & report for my paper. It'd be a bit disrespectful to put BBC report by Anonymous presenter, lol
Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 21days.
Note I didn't invest only in one income crypto combine with bonds investment with Lawrence Hite is the best decision anyone can make.I started with $200k anyone can start with little as you can loose depends on what you want.🇺🇸
Was this inspired by the Ucranian army? That's how they're fighting back Russia, by dropping bombs on top of Russian Tanks. It's great to see how technology is being used around the world today.
Cancelled my direct debit to the RNLI six months ago and I’ll never give them another penny, total traitors out picking up illegal immigrants when they should be rescuing genuine Mariners in distress.
Hi: Unfortunately I can not speak English, so I have to use the program I have installed on my phone for translation, except that I can speak Persian, I do not speak any language other than Persian and no other language. I can not speak, so if I said words or sentences and the special program mistranslated into your language, I apologize in advance to your esteemed father, from the bottom of my heart and from the bottom of my heart, that the letters and words Call me to the end and call me a person orDo not consider me a rude person and do not consider me a rude person and judge me correctly and after reading my writings, just put yourself in my place for a few minutes and imagine yourself in my place, maybe if you have an awakened conscience and There was love and affection in your hearts, of course, if you did not have pride and arrogance, understand me and give me the right, and again, maybe, maybe, maybe you did something and you did it for me and you took me from You saved this great tribulation that I hope will not happen to any living thing, of courseI do not very much hope that anyone will take my hand and save me from this misfortune, but I am writing so that I can at least be comfortable in front of my conscience and not blame myself later if I cry out for this cruelty, oppression, and captivity that has fallen on me. All the doors are closed to me, even the eyes of God are blind to see the oppression that is being done to me, and the ears of God are blind to hearing the cries of my constant cries, my midnight cries, my daily sufferings, my daily prayers and the jurists and The cries of my every moment from this oppression, oppression and cruelty that from the beginning of my life, fromThe first events of my life that I remember are deaf. So how can I hope for others when God has done nothing for me and trapped me in a cruel, cruel, cruel, and oppressive family? I am Morteza, I am from Iran, I am blind, I am 34 years old, I am unemployed because in our country, Iran, there is no work for healthy people, let alone disabled people like me. I live with my family in a small town in Iran. Of course, in appearance, they are my family, but in reality, they see me as their own enemy, and with me, who am their child, only bI was born blind, and I was not to blame for this, but my parents, because they were illiterate, considered me as a disgrace only to myself for my blindness and disability, and were always tortured as severely as possible. They beat me to the point where they threatened me with a knife. They put me to sleep and put the knife on my neck, and I was terrified and scared. Get up and until fullThe thin skin of my hand burned, they would not let me go. And they tortured me many, many times, to the point that my brothers, with the support of my parents, tortured me in front of my parents' indifferent eyes, and told me that I was blind. You are and you should be tortured to the extent that they created the belief in me and in my mind that anyone who is blind or disabled should be tortured because it is a disgrace to the family and society. And unfortunately, their torture is still going on, and only a kind of tortureThey do not consider it for him, so how can I complain to someone who considers my law as his property, of course, the current laws in Iran. Unfortunately, the government does not have a place for people like me to go and live. I really have no choice, either I have to commit suicide or I have to stay in the same house that my family has turned into hell for me, under the severe mental and physical torture that my family inflicts on me. And more than ever with a horrible gradual death that tormentedI want to stay. So if you still have a little mercy, fairness, conscience, compassion, love, humanity, knowledge, ideology, humanity and altruism, help me, hold my hand, reach my cry. If you are in contact with institutions and organizations affiliated with the International Committee of the Red Cross, or if any of you are a member of human rights organizations or the International Committee of the Red Cross or Red Cross organizations in free and pro-human rights countries, listen to my writings, my voice and my cry. Come on, maybe they're a little fair and think of me and a way toSave me from the clutches of ostensibly wolves, of course, if human rights institutions and organizations and the Red Cross actually support human rights, if you are a citizen of a free country or a citizen of a free country like the United States, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, Norway, You have Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and the European Union. Send me invitations, arrange for me to leave this house, which is worse than hell, so that maybe I too can taste freedom. If you have capital, you are rich, you have money, at least help meLeave the messengers, so that all the photos on my personal pages in the messengers and social networks are from 8 years ago, that is, for 8 years ago and 5 years ago. I have not even traveled for many years, because our city is a small city. It is sad for a disabled person to leave home, it is sad for a disabled person, the streets of our city are not adapted so that a disabled person can easily be at least a little out of home. And I'm really depressed at home, especially with this family that is always torturingAre. Of course, I do not care if I travel or not, because my problems are so great that not traveling travels much more than my other or other problems. In your opinion, can a person who eats only one meal in 48 hours, which is a good meal, even a moderate meal, but also any garbage he gets, take pictures, travel or not, and other things? Slowly, someone who breaks his heart at every moment, of course, the work of my heart is no longer broken and my heart is on fire andIt is burned, and this fire is getting more and more hot and burning, and it is burning and ashes my whole being. So I hope that if you do not hear the sound of my heart breaking, at least be fair and feel the smell of my heart burning, away from arrogance, arrogance, misguidedness, ethnicity, race, skin color, shape and appearance for the sake of humanity and for Humanity and honor that you have, just imagine yourself in my place for a few minutes, see yourself in my place and think, if far away from you, God forbid, you would be in my place.Did you ??? Were you satisfied that someone was making fun of you or disrespecting you, or did you laugh at you in response to your message and pain and heart ?, so my dear friends and those who wrote my writings to you Please, if you do not want to do anything for me, at least do not make fun of me, do not laugh, and if you do not want to help extinguish the fire inside me that burns my heart, at least do not spill oil and gasoline with ill-considered language, words and expressions, and this is far from knowledge, honor, It is humanity and family originality. If you want to give me anyPlease help me do not send me a message on RU-vid because I can not transfer messages from RU-vid to the translation program that I have installed on my phone, and as a result, because I am not fluent in any language other than Persian, I can not understand the meaning of messages.
