ABSTRACT:
A rescue apparatus includes a flexible element and a sleeve element. The flexible element may be a rope or tube used to allow the sleeve element to reach a victim. The sleeve element includes at least one pneumatic pillow. The victim inserts an appendage into the sleeve element and the pneumatic pillow is inflated to secure the appendage within the sleeve element. The victim can then be pulled to safety by the flexible element without fear that the victim would lose a grip of the sleeve element.
