00:01.470 --> 00:03.375
- [Instructor] Wrist grip escape.

00:03.375 --> 00:05.900
When a victim grabs your arm or wrist,

00:05.900 --> 00:07.923
submerge the victim
quickly by reaching across

00:07.923 --> 00:11.360
with the free hand, pushing
down on the victim's shoulder

00:11.360 --> 00:14.093
to submerge him and
kicking to propel upward.

00:14.093 --> 00:16.080
While keeping the victim submerged

00:16.080 --> 00:17.550
with your hand on their shoulder,

00:17.550 --> 00:20.150
give three hard jerking
pulls with the trapped hand

00:20.150 --> 00:23.020
in order to attempt to
break free from their grasp.

00:23.020 --> 00:24.898
Once free, swim clear of the victim

00:24.898 --> 00:27.273
and reassess the victim's condition.

00:30.290 --> 00:31.920
If the wrist grip escape is unsuccessful

00:31.920 --> 00:35.433
in freeing the hand, use the
wrist grip escape alternative.
