A line throwing bag comprising a bag with a sidewall, an open end, a closed end formed by an end wall, and an interior compartment with sufficient size to loosely receive a plurality of folds of a central portion of a line. The line has a first end portion fixedly attached to the bag and extending through an aperture in the bag end wall with a loop positioned exterior of the bag for grasping by the person to be rescued. A looped second end portion extends through the bag open end and is positioned exterior of the bag for grasping by the person throwing the bag. A weight is fixedly attached to the bag end wall and weighs a sufficient amount to carry the bag forward when thrown for a distance substantially equal of the length of the line central portion and to gradually play the line out of the bag under the rearward drag created by holding the second line end portion stationary. A pair of looped straps have their ends fixedly attached to the bag end wall and have a handle portion and a pair of lengthwise extending portions slidably attached to the bag sidewall toward the bag open end. The looped straps can be pulled outward from the bag sidewall to form arm loops. In an alternative embodiment, a locking clip can be attached to the strap handle portions so that the straps can be extended around the person to be rescued and locked to provide a rescue harness.
