Hope this link works. If not it is on the NRS web site videos section.

One of the better how to videos I have seen on this rescue procedure.

Decades ago on one of my first runs of the Numbers I got upside down in shallow water, lost my paddle and was struggling when a bud of mine did what was at the time a version of Hand of God. He just put his hand down in the water where I could see it which gave me the start I needed to roll. Worked great and saved me from what could have been a bad swim. This version seems to work better especially if the victim is trapped upside down.

Bottom line, use as you see fit but this is a fun way to work on your own boat control in safe water conditions.

Spot on Okieboater, the only thing that was said but not stressed in the vid is to start by pushing down
on the closest edge of the victims boat. This will raise the far edge and make for an easier grab. This
is more important as you work with larger (creek) boats....
Great video......
