Abstract (en)

A rescue device for bodies, such as of human beings or cargo load, fallen into the sea, includes a body part for attachment to the body, a long line attached to the body part on one end and to the other hand. The balloon is folded to a small size in its inoperative position and may be inflated to an operative position in which it exerts an upward lift in air. Preferably, the balloon is radar reflecting. A lightweight gas effects the inflation of the balloon from the inoperative to the operative position. There is provided a valve which can be opened to allow the gas into the balloon. <IMAGE>
