The rescuer shoot with the line thrower the gripper with rope past the
individual in distress and pulls it back towards the individual. The
distressed individual can grab either the rope or the gripper
and then
be steadily pulled to safety by the rescuer.
In any rescue situation you should be aware of wind speed and direction
and any water currents that may affect the victim as well as the
gripper and rope when it lands near the victim. You should always aim
for a point past the victim and slightly upwind of the
victim.
For
ICE
RESCUES have the victim put the gripper
between their legs and and cross their legs on the disc. Then have them
use their free hands to climb on the edge of the ice while you pull
them up from a sitting position. The line thrower is working like a drag lift.

The
line thrower launch the towing line for the safety line parallel to the roof.
