The TeamO Offshore 150 lifejacket and harness, the new patented life jacket design utilises back pull technology to improve the chances of survival for a man overboard when attached to the vessel. When people first see the new TeamO lifejacket and harness, there is an immediate recognition that its unique design fundamentally changes the way harnesses work and that this product transforms what has been the accepted technology. The Eureka moment came after a tragic loss of life by a British sailor after he had fallen overboard while still attached to his harness. He drowned before team mates were able to retrieve him from the sea.
The new TeamO lifejacket and harness is a patented design, where the load is taken from the wearer’s back when in use, rather than from the front. Developed over the last year by Oscar Mead it’s a simple idea which radically changes the prospects for a man overboard.
All traditional harnesses, using an attachment point on a sailor’s chest, pull man overboard victims through the water chest forward, effectively forcing water into the mouth and face and this can literally drown sailors who go overboard, despite being tethered to the boat.
The new TeamO design allows the harness line to pop over the wearers shoulders when called into service so that the tether load is taken from the back and the man overboard is pulled through the water with his head securely above water and his mouth away from the oncoming water.
