HIKER SURVIVES 40FT FALL AT THE WAIPIO VALLEY THANKS TO THE RESQLINK 410 RLS

In September 2023, our group embarked on a challenging hike in Hawaii. Facing treacherous conditions and a lost backpack, one member’s fall added to the predicament. Thankfully, an ACR ResQLink 410 PLB was activated, summoning rescue teams who performed a life-saving helicopter extraction, reminding us of the importance of preparedness and rescue equipment in the wild.

“Although it wasn’t me that required the rescue.  I am very happy that I lent it to my good friends for the hike that day.  Without a way of communicating to anyone without hiking out the ResQlink provided not only a quick rescue, but peace of mind to Todd’s wife, knowing that help was on the way.“
