ABSTRACT:
A rescue device for assisting in removing a person from the water including an elongate rigid member 10 having a curved portion 14 adjacent one end 12 thereof. A flexible strap 20 is connected at the end 12 and to a slider 26 which is slidable along the portion 14. In the position illustrated the loop formed by the strap 20 and the portion 14 are passed over the person in the water and the device is then pulled towards the end 14, so that the slider moves along the portion 14, thereby reducing the circumference of the loop to the length of the strap. Continued movement will then retain the person and pull the person towards the operator.
