Abstract

A water rescue device for rescuing an overboard person comprises a frame member 100 and a harness 112 mounted to the frame member by a mounting means 106 arranged such that, when tension is applied to a connected haul line 104, the harness is detached from the frame member. Corresponding methods of rescuing an overboard person are also provided, making use of the water rescue device in a number of configurations. The invention enables an overboard person to be lifted out of the water, and supported, in a horizontal (or non-vertical) position.
