1. A multiple victim rescue flotation device, comprising:
- at least three elongate resilient buoyant members each having two ends and a peripheral surface with at least one planar outer surface portion;
first connecting means provided on the at least one planar surface portion of each of said members for releasably connecting together said members so that when connected together the members form a single flotation unit in which one of said members is centrally arranged and the remaining members are releasably connected to the peripheral surface of the central member whereby the first connecting means permits the elongate members to be disconnected to provide flotation for multiple victims;
a tow line fixed to one end of the central member; and
second connecting means for releasably connecting said members together end to end and for releasably connecting together both ends of a single one of said members.

Abstract
A multiple victim rescue device made of at least three elongate buoyant members each having two ends and at least one planar outer surface. The elongate members can be connected together at their outer planar surface so that one of the elongate members is arranged centrally between the remaining members. A tow line is fixed to one end of the central member and the other end of the central member as well as the ends of the remaining members are provided with either hooks or rings so that the ends can be connected together.
