Recent flooding in the America's northeast and news reports of more to come, remind us that mother nature still takes advantage sometimes. When the bridges have all been knocked down by the floods and you need to make a 20-mile round trip to the shop, hospital or to collect loved ones, perhaps its time to invest in a personal hovercraft.
Hovercraft have one major advantage over rescue boats, they have no propeller to snag onto submerged obstacles. Flooded ground in the country has the occasional wire fence to navigate, whereas streets have all manner of submerged obstacles to spoil a prop, e.g. street furniture, parking meters, street signs etc.
Hovercraft can also save lives when it comes to mud rescue, ice rescue or sand rescue, boats don't work too well over solid land and in shallow waters - ice rescue is particularly dangerous for rescue personnel, since hypothermia can affect a victim's / rescuer's mobility after 10 minutes of exposure to extreme cold.
