U Safe
The self-propelled U-Safe lifesaving buoy that can be delivered to the victim via remote control.
The U-Safe is shaped like a horseshoe, with a pair of electric turbines in the back that propel it quickly through the water. It is controlled from the shore with a thumbstick control, and the U-Safe is able to generate enough power to not only travel to the person, but also give them a ride back to shore.
