The Guardian reports on the RNLI’s latest Channel rescue statistics, revealing that more than 100 people were saved from small boats in 2022.  

The article highlights the increasing demand for RNLI rescue missions and introduces new equipment designed by FunAir to improve response times and safety during rescues. 

Featured in the report is the FunAir Rescue SeaStairs. This inflatable system allows lifeboat crews to quickly and safely bring casualties aboard, significantly reducing the time it takes to conduct water rescues.  

The RNLI emphasizes how such innovations improve both efficiency and crew safety, ensuring more lives can be saved in critical situations. 

The report also underscores the challenges faced by RNLI volunteers, who operate in dangerous conditions to provide impartial humanitarian aid, as well as the importance of public donations in funding lifesaving efforts. 

As the manufacturer of the RNLI-endorsed Rescue SeaStairs, FunAir’s role in maritime safety innovation is further validated.
