ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a lifesaving ring having a buoyant ring means with gripping sections which are sized for convenient grasp in the hand of a thrower. The plurality of gripping sections are preferably each sized differently so that different persons can have a properly sized gripping section for accurate throwing of the lifesaving ring. A grab line is connected about the outer circumference of the lifesaving ring using grab line connectors. Inter-grip sections are positioned between the gripping sections and extend inwardly in order to increase flotation of the lifesaving ring. The gripping sections are preferably color coded for easy identification during times of emergency.
