Crab and others,

I saw a picture of a rescue here and noticed that the rescuee is well below the rescuer in the horse collar (that's our name, also called, rescue sling, strop, etc.) When we do a double-up the rescuee's eyes are approximately at the neck to mouth of the rescuer. Any idea why the difference? Advantages to either?

It seems to me that it would be easier to get in with all at the same level, but I rarely go on the hook...busy up front at the time.

Matthew.

BTW, BZ on the rescues!
