throw bags

A throw bag is a safety device used in water rescue situations to help bring a person to safety. It consists of a durable cord coiled inside a weighted bag. When needed, rescuers throw the bag so that the person in trouble can grasp the cord. By pulling on the rope, they can be pulled to safety or closer to rescue personnel. Throw bags are essential tools because they allow rescue teams to reach and assist individuals without entering dangerous waters themselves. They are portable, easy to deploy quickly, and improve the chances of a successful rescue in challenging conditions.
