ういてまてThe 7th Workshop on
the Water Rescue and Survival Research
November 3, 2018 Batam, Indonesia
The Society of Water Rescue and Survival research“the skills needed for victims in water related accidents”“Uitemate” is an important motto to help survive sudden water accidents. When aperson encounters a water related incident, it is vital to keep the air-way free by floatingon their back (uite) and waiting for a rescuer to come to their assistance (mate).
Uitemate challenges the current thought of water rescue to where the victim plays theleading role, not rescuer.
