More Information
The front head-hold escape allows you to escape when you are facing a victim who is gripping you around your head and neck. Take a quick breath and tuck your chin into your shoulder to protect your throat. Clap your hands above your head three times to submerge instantly. This drags the victim below the water, lifts the arms from around your neck, and typically, the victim releases their grasps in order to get back to the surface. If the victim doesn’t release their grasps, apply pressure to the victim’s brachial pressure points (located inside the upper arm, above the elbow). Thrust the victim’s arms up and away. Keep your chin tucked to protect your throat, and swim underwater away from the victim and return to the surface at the ready position. Stop -8 feet from the victim to reassess the situation. Determine an appropriate course of action.
