planedriver Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 A couple floating down Melbourne's flooded Yarra River on inflatable dolls have been rescued after getting into trouble. Police say the 19-year-old couple had just passed Pound Bend Tunnel at Warrandyte North when the water became turbulent and the woman lost control of her grip on the doll about 4.30pm (AEDT) on Sunday. The woman grabbed hold of a tree that was floating in the river. The man stayed with her and they yelled for help, police say. A passer-by contacted triple zero and police and SES went to the scene. A kayaker took life jackets to the pair and the SES attended with a boat and rescued the pair. They were checked by ambulance officers but did not require medical attention. Police say the fate of the dolls is unknown. It can only be assumed that the poor lady got into trouble, after the doll went down on her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah in some situations they go down on you, so they shouldn't be used for flotation. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying dog Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 and the woman lost control of her grip on the doll May I ask WHERE she was holding the doll? Or to put it another way: Onto what part of the doll was she holding before losing grip? OK, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
