ABSTRACT:
An inflatable water flotation device for remote rescue of a victim in peril of drowning. The device comprises an elongate, closed tubular member constructed of a flexible, air impervious material permitting compact folding and storage of the device in a deflated configuration. The elongate tubular member is stored in a compact, water tight case. Upon inflation by a gas, the tubular member is deployable to an elongate, generally linear, semi-rigid tube, one end of which is remotely maneuverable to a distant victim. A self-contained gas supply associated with the device is operable for rapid inflation of the tubular member at time of emergency. A safety line is contiguous with the length of the member and facilitates grasping by the victim to expedite recovery of the victim.
