New Victim for Rescue and Rescue Premier Rules

The Old Victim

The following items of the rules has been amended:

3. Victim

   3.1 The Victim
      3.1.1 The victim is a Cadbury Yowie™.

The New Victim

The change to the rules only affects Item 3.1.1. The victim described in Item 3.1.1 of the current rules will be replaced by a standard 375ml aluminium can with no markings or a standard 375ml aluminium can wrapped in aluminium foil or aluminium foil tape. The can will contain material such as rice weighing 40gms. A liquid should not be used to add weigh to the can.

This last minute change has been necessary as Cadbury are no longer producing Yowies and stocks in the stores are in very short supply.

How to Build the New Victim

Below is a short procedure on how to build the replacement victim.

Step 1. Take an empty 375ml aluminium soft drink can.	Step 2. Get a strip of aluminium foil cut to the same height as an aluminium can ( approx 13cm x 30cm ).	Step 3. Tape the edge of the aluminium foil to the side of the can kepping the edge of the foil perpendicular to the base of the can. Make sure there is about 5mm clearance between the base of the can and the long edge of the foil so that the can will be able to sit on its base.
Step 4. Wrap the aluminium foil around the can ensuring that the foil stays flat.	Step 5. Using a clear tape (the tape lines are marked in black above for clarity), tape the foil to the can first down the side, then around the top and bottom of the can.
Step 6. Measure out 40 gms of something inert and non toxic such as rice.	Step 7. Pour the rice into the prepared can. If you are worried about the contents of the can being spilled out you can place a piece of tape over the mouth of the can.	Finished. The victim is now ready to be rescued.
