DLRG balance 2005: Rescuers protect 855 humans the drowning bath nominal village/Hamburg - who rescue floats of the German lifesaving company (DLRG) have in the past year 855 humans drowning protected. In relation to the year 2004 the number rose around 163 or 23,6%. Also the assistance for water sportsmen come into emergency increased by 465 to 8.846.
48,806 rescue floats of the DLRG made honorary awake hours the water-free time for bathers and water sportsmen at coasts, inland waters and in swimming pools safer with 2.2 million and carried 46,354 out times first assistance. DLRG president Dr. Klaus Wilkens communicated these numbers now in Hamburg.
When the DLRG president worse floatability called causes for the risen employment numbers, paired with higher prepared to take risks shank and careless behavior of bathers and water-haven-learn, who often estimated their efficiency wrongly. “Without the presence of rescue floats of the DLRG the number of deadly accidents would not be in the water about 477, but with far more than 1,332 cases, if we add the rescues by family members, friends or other organizations, who appear in no statistics. The Gefährdungspotenzial is by far larger, than the drowning numbers shows”, thus Dr. Wilkens. “Before this background it is not acceptable that the water emergency service is not contained in most emergency service laws of the Lands of the Federal Republic. That is a completely wrong understanding of Subsidiarität”, criticizes the DLRG president the political basic conditions.
The swimming and rescue swimming examinations of the DLRG continued to decrease in the past year. 173,500 humans learned rescue swimming with the DLRG swimming and 51,500. With 225.000 examinations the result is according to own data by 4,8 per cent under that of the previous year. Also the number of the swimming beginners decreased 2005 slightly. Only 55,500 girls and girls put a “Seepferdchen examination down”. “For years the continuing reduction of the swimming examinations is not least the negative result of the locking of local baths. Each humans are a right to swimming training, this apply in particular to the children. Who takes its responsibility for the recent generation seriously,”, demands Dr. Wilkens may close no baths a clear confession for the receipt of the baths. 87,35 of the population holds according to a Emnid study on behalf the DLRG swimming pools for important or very importantly. In the opinion the DLRG confirm the declining training numbers the results of the study over a removing floatability in the German population.
The DLRG carried 6.3 million hours out according to own data in the past year honorary and free of charge for humans in Germany. Also over 860.000 members and promoters the DLRG is today the largest water rescue organization of the world. The DLRG president criticized the high portion for the association administration and - organization. More than each fifth hour is allotted to the normal association guidance and the completion of external tasks. “1.4 million hours are simply too much. The DLRG determine, that also three year after the final report the Enquêtekommission the German Bundestag of Discharge and Simplification for bürgerschaftliches commitment only little the speech be can. That is disappointing for thousands of honorary active associations with millions freiwilliger aid. We expect the faster acting and noticeable discharges of the policy now”, so the DLRG president in the Bilanzpressekonferenz.
