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.
