ABSTRACT:
An inflatable water flotation device for remote rescue of a victim in peril of drowning. The device has one or more elongate, closed tubular members constructed of a flexible, air-impervious material permitting compact folding and storage of the device in a deflated configuration. Elongate tubular members are stored in a compact, water-tight case. Upon inflation by a gas, the tubular members are deployable as a unit to an elongate, generally linear, semi-rigid device, 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 members at time of emergency. A safety line is contiguous with the length of the device and facilitates grasping by the victim to expedite recovery of the victim.
