How do I use a throwing assist to help a person in trouble in the water?
-
American Red Cross answered:- An effective way to rescue someone beyond your reach is to throw a floating object out to the person with a line attached. These include ring buoys, throw bags or any floating object available, such as a picnic jug, small cooler, buoyant cushion, kickboard or extra life jacket.
- Once the person grasps the object, pull the person to safety.
