No one seemed too keen on the ice water testing route but did appreciate the idea. I think I'm going to be putting this off for a bit, might take the plunge tonight...
Issues highlighted by this tutorial were to do with material selection and tech integration.
Materials wise I haven't given this proper thought yet. I want to use an engineering plastic such as polycarb or polyamide but I haven't had a look at CES yet to decide properly.
The integration of coastguard contacting when the device is trigger is trivial. Personal locator beacons currently exist that transmit a distress signal to a satellite and this is monitored worldwide. They are relatively inexpensive and will integrate nicely with Lifeline.
