How much weight can a rescue tube support?

The rescue tube is designed with specific buoyancy and construction standards to effectively support a person in a lifesaving situation. It can support a weight of up to 600 pounds, making it a reliable tool for lifeguards when performing rescues in aquatic environments.

The design and material of the rescue tube allow it to maintain buoyancy, ensuring that it can not only support the weight of a victim but also provide some additional safety margin for the lifeguard or other equipment that may be involved during a rescue. Understanding the weight capacity of a rescue tube is crucial for ensuring effective rescues and for the safety of both the lifeguard and the person being rescued.

Other options represent weights that exceed the maximum limit for a rescue tube, indicating a misunderstanding of the product's specifications and its application in real-life rescue scenarios. Knowing the correct weight support ability helps ensure that lifeguards are adequately prepared and informed while maintaining safety measures during rescues.
