  • no in a real rescue one i would be in the water sooner also would go to the closest wall and the whole rescue would be done in under 30 second not the 90 in the video

  • according to red cross protocol a backboard is used for removal from water

  • @yeshaya17 only when you suspect a spinal injury or the victim is unconscious

  • @MrMonoxide123 it is used for all removals from water unless victim can get out on their own

  • it was a training rescue so i did a long swim to demonstrate a long swim and thats y u train to learn to use equipment probaly

see all

  • @yeshaya17 you can lift them out with two people even if the victim is unconcious, one person holding the arms under the armpit and a bystander pushing up the legs

  • so fake

  • Please tell me this is not how you would perform a real rescue...

  • since when is a backboard ever used for that?

  • @95sniper95 I could not agree any more on that. This is red cross procedure for active drowning victim. But, for the YMCA active drowning procedure, we stick the rescue tube under there armpits similar to red cross "swimming extension rescue" and we keep a distance away from them. Even though YMCA hasn't updated the manual guidelines in about 10 years its still better and much simpler then the red cross procedures. I'm a dual certified YMCA and Red Cross Lifeguard!

  • You should have given him something to hold on to. A weak swimmer might grab hold of you and you are then putting yourself in danger.
