The structure has a net with mesh openings which are larger than thigh size but smaller than chest size. The net is attached to side ropes which are provided with floats and the side ropes at a forward end of the structure are extended to form pulling ropes. A sinker rope extends between the side ropes at the rear end of the structure. The sinker rope has the effect of submerging the rear end of the structure in the water, and pulling together rear end portions of the side ropes while their front ends remain open. Thus a partial enclosure is formed into which a person to be rescued can enter and be enmeshed in the net in an upright position. | |
