Abstract
[From Summary] Background: While driving and crewing an inflatable rescue boat (IRB), minimizing injury risk is of greatest priority. Foot straps bow ropes and hull characteristics are three key features which, through modification, may reduce current concern for lower limb injury to surf lifesavers. There is little quantified evidence of lower limb placement and motion or loading during surf lifesaving available within previous literature; only two studies have investigated loads experienced on IRBs during operation.
