throw bag

A throw bag is a safety device used in water rescue situations. It consists of a durable, usually circular bag connected to a rope. When someone is in trouble in the water, a rescuer throws the bag toward them. The person in distress can grab onto it, and the rescuer then pulls them to safety by reeling in the rope. Throw bags are essential tools for swift water rescues, providing a reachable lifeline and helping to prevent accidents from escalating into drownings.
