Re: [Paddlewise] Rescuing the unconscious?

There is a trapped paddler rescue (also known as the hand of God) when a  
paddler could not wet exit.  I have actually used this rescue once on a  river 
and seen it used by a friend when a person panicked trying to wet exit.  
Personally I practice this, in addition to other rescue, several times a year.  
Please refer to the following link for a description of this and other  rescues.

While  brushing up on rescue techniques and practice I started wondering how
on  earth one could rescue someone who had flipped and was unconscious?  

Can anyone provide references or advice?

All the best,  PeterO
