The SOS Balloon or Sentinel of Security®, is the newest, most innovative product available today to provide you the highest level of security when hiking, camping, skiing, boating or any outdoor activity.
The SOS is a Personal Location Marker (PLM) used by lost or injured individuals in an emergency to display their location to land, air, or sea search & rescue teams. It is a self contained unit approximately the size of a flashlight that automatically fills and releases a helium filled high visibility Mylar balloon tethered with 100 ’ of high tensile monofilament to mark a lost or injured person’s location. The product is the first of its kind on the market. It will retail for $39.95 and will be sold through an established distribution network of manufacturers representatives in the sporting goods and outdoor industry, online direct and direct TV. How does it work? The device is triggered (started) by pulling the cap from the container, puncturing a helium cylinder and automatically filling the large, brightly colored foil balloon, causing it to rise up 100 feet into the air where it can be seen visibly by search & rescue teams.
