Throw Bags are on of the most
efficient, effective, and safest tools in ice and water rescue and recovery. They are lightweight, easy to
use, and deploy rapidly without placing the victim or rescuer in
further danger. A must for ice water rescue, swift water rescue, and other
rescue operations.
This design was developed
to help avoid the sloppy, haphazard way that throw
lines are often stored in the field. A coiled rope is more likely to
tangle than this line, which is packed in the bag so it flows out
without tangles.
Can Your
Community Afford Water Rescue Equipment?
Can it Afford Not To Have It?

"Aside from the proper PFD, your
second most important piece of water rescue equipment is throw bags."
"What you do is you stuff these bags and then throw the
bag to someone who is in the moving water, so you can pull them in.
Throw bags actually account for about 90% of the rescues made in swift
water. They're very inexpensive."
The bag is made of weather
resistant fabric and features a loop that can be used to hang the
bag with the ring. The line used is highly visible yellow 3/8"
(.95cm) hollow braid polypropylene that floats and is spliced to the
inside of the bag. The label has clear instructions and indicates
the amount of line inside.

Throw bag comes with 90' of line included. Order replacement line
separately. NOTE: Throw bag holds a maximum of 90'.
