Sex toy slip-up results in river rescue
The decision to float down a flooded river on an inflatable sex doll backfired yesterday when a woman lost her latex love toy in the floodwaters. This prompted a warning from police that blow-up dolls are "not recognised flotation devices''.

Australian police and an emergency crew were called to the rescue when the woman and a man, both 19, struck trouble yesterday. They were floating down the Yarra River on two inflatable dolls when the woman lost her toy in rough water.

She clung to a floating tree and called for help while the man remained with her. Fortunately, a witness called triple zero and a kayaker took life jackets to the pair. Police and the emergency crew then rescued the two of them.

With 50 rescues from flood waters around Victoria in the last week, police were not happy about the pair's "stupid" actions.

"We've got people busy with rescues and to have to divert resources to that sort of thing is not ideal," Senior Constable Wayne Wilson declared.

"Most rescue organisations would frown on people behaving in such a manner because there are people out there who are in genuine need of assistance," he stated.

The failed floaters were checked by paramedics but did not need any medical attention.

"The fate of the inflatable dolls is unknown," Senior Constable Wilson quipped.
