Parkbuckling
Retrieving a person from the water can be a difficult task. When someone is unconscious, hypothermic, heavy, or too exhausted to help, parbuckling is the method RCMSAR uses to safely bring a person on board our vessels. Here, members Dave Brown, Erin Heeney, and Randal Eistetter do a dockside demonstration using our training "patient". Thank you to @John Maddalozzo for the photos!
