Q

Which knot is suitable for hoisting an unconscious person?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Rescue knots used to support a person who cannot hold on by themselves • How some bowline variations create two loops that can go around different parts of the body (chest and legs) for better support • Why an unconscious person needs a knot that prevents them from slipping out while being hoisted

💭 Think About

• Which of these knots is specifically designed to make secure loops that can support a person’s body, not just a line or hook? • Think about how you would safely lift someone who cannot help themselves: what parts of their body must be supported so they do not fall out? • Among the choices, which knot is commonly taught in seamanship and rescue for lifting or lowering people safely?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is a type of bowline adapted for lifting people, not just for general-purpose line work • Check which knot forms two adjustable loops that can go around both the chest and legs • Eliminate any knots primarily known for joining lines or for fishing/tackle use rather than for personnel rescue
