Quick Overview

This throw bag is used by first responders and boat crews to establish a lifeline with a conscious victim in the water up to 70 feet away. Its integrated foam float and chemlight loops make it exceptionally visible and effective for both day and night rescue operations.

Field Application Steps

  1. Secure the rope's bitter end to your non-throwing hand or a fixed anchor.
  2. For night operations, activate and attach a chemical light stick to the external loops.
  3. Make verbal contact, then throw the bag upstream and beyond the victim's position.
  4. Instruct the victim to grab the highly-buoyant BAG itself, not just the rope.
  5. Use a pendulum motion (tension ferry) to swing the victim to safety; do not pull directly against a strong current.
  6. After use, rinse, dry completely, and STUFF (do not coil) the rope back into the bag for next deployment.
