Mustang Water Rescue Throw Bag, 75-Foot Rope

The Mustang Survival Water Rescue Professional Throw Bag holds 75 feet of rope rated to 2,000 lb, model MRD175.

Seventy-five feet is a professional length, well beyond the 50 feet a recreational throw bag holds, and it exists because a rescuer often cannot get as close as they would like. In moving water the distance between a safe bank position and a person in the current is frequently more than 50 feet.

The bag is built for reloading with a gloved hand, which sounds like a detail until a second throw is needed and cold fingers cannot feed rope back into a narrow opening. Two thousand pounds of rope strength allows for the shock load of a person in current, which is far higher than their body weight alone. Explore more immersion suits and flotation apparel.
