Quick Overview

The R&B Water Rescue Throw Bag is a rapid deployment system used to establish a connection with a conscious victim in the water up to 75 feet away. It is an essential first-contact tool for responders on shore, on a boat, or on ice to retrieve a person without entering a hazardous water environment.

Field Application Steps

Secure the rope's free end to your non-throwing wrist or a fixed anchor point.
Open the bag, establish a secure stance, and identify a clear throwing lane.
Throw the bag underhand or overhand, aiming just beyond and downstream of the victim.
Yell clear commands for the victim to grab the rope and place it over their shoulder.
Assume a low, braced stance and begin a controlled, hand-over-hand retrieval.
If in swift water, use the current's force to pendulum the victim toward shore.
