In some countries, cars have to drive on the left side....
In some other countries, cars have to drive on the right side.....

What is better?


If you have an experienced guy in the water, who knows how to shift his body into a basket (and keep it inside), it is a good method.....

A swimmer can help a person out of the water into the rescue sling/belt/whatever-and make him secure in it.

When waves are high, a basket can be dangerous-it can hit the person in the water, knocking him or her unconscious.

I cannot say, which method is the best-i think it is depending on the situation...

Any other opinions?
