Shock and Awe (S&A) is a national, prevention program to reduce the incidence and enhance the effectiveness of SAR by proving to Canadian boaters that they can drown more easily than they think during an accidental immersion, with the end goal of increasing lifejacket wear.
Organization:
Public Safety Canada
Expected Results:
The purpose of this project is to research the hypothesis that surprise, caused by accidental immersion in warmer water, can cause a fatal gasp that can lead to immediate drowning... a drowning that may trigger the need for search and rescue.
