| Method:
The MOB pulled to the boat with a boat hook. The net thread under the MOB by holding to
the hoisting strap and lowering the net at the head end of the casualty and pull the
throw-line or the driftanchor line between the legs until the float wire on the outer edge
of the net can be seen between the legs. Hold the float wire there with the line or a boat
hook and pull the hoisting strap until the MOB sits secured in the net structure. Then
link the hoisting strap to a treble block hoist and hoist it on board. In rough sea an in-water rescue of an unconsciouse MOB
casualty is recommended to secure the rescue operation and avoid danger from the boat.
Security advice: Make sure
you have secure way back on board and are linked to the boat and have mean to secure the
casualty in, before you enter the water to rescue helpless person in water. |
