Remember that scene near the end of the movie Titanic where poor Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) had frozen to death and been sent to Davy Jones Locker and Rose (Kate Winslet) was barely alive and clinging onto a door from the wreck to keep her afloat?
The rescue boat came and didn’t look like finding her until she reached for a whistle attached to the frozen corpse of a nearby sailor and blew it to draw their attention. Remember? It was the whistle that saved her.
Today, most life jackets come with a whistle attached. Some are pretty good – others are a bit pathetic and their sound simply won’t carry over distance or the noise of crashing waves and howling wind.
We recently sourced the Mother of all Whistles from the US and brought them to Australia with the Wear it Australia logo imprinted to endorse them and make them our own. We unreservedly recommend the Wear it whistles after extensive testing in many different conditions.
The Wear it Australia whistle is a bright orange safety whistle, made from polypropylene and which emits a high-pitched sound that is significantly louder than a conventional ball whistle. This safety emergency whistle is capable of producing sound loud enough to summon help whilst saving your physical strength for survival in emergency situations. This whistle is equally useful at sea, on a mountain – in fact, anywhere as a personal protection accessory.
Perfect for attaching to your life jacket but also an important accessory for bush walking, orienteering, remote travelling, sport etc. I even have a friend using one in his role as a station master for Queensland Rail – sometimes scaring the Hell out of the passengers!
At $9.95 each, including postage, they are an inexpensive investment in your safety. Ladies, please attach one to your bag or around your neck on a lanyard if you walk alone.
