There are many safety precautions to take into account when out on the water. Life preservers and jackets, safety netting and lifelines are all placed for the direct safety of boaters. But as every boater knows, safety is paramount. This philosophy has been the driving force behind Intelligent Maintenance's Man Overboard (MOB) app that was created for the iPhone.
Recently receiving over 1000 downloads, the MOB app was designed to mitigate the often fatal situation resulting from accidentally going overboard. A man overboard situation happens more often than you think.
The simple-to-use app that can be easily downloaded to an iPhone with a touch of a button could save a life. Once the app is activated, a screen giving directions to the nearest MOB, the elapsed time and exact coordinates are given to call in to the Coast Guard, which will eliminate each difficult step needed for a safe recovery in confusing and frantic times.
For a modest $1.99, iPhone users can—potentially—save their priceless lives or the lives of loved ones. (www.intelligentmaintenance.com)
