This is certainly in the RD manual and the RD section of the Instructor
manual, although it's referred to as the "roll-up technique". A PADI RD
should know how to do it even if he didn't know it was called parbuckling.

So now I know what parbuckling is.

Hmmm - well i've done landing casualties on shore, RIBs, other boats and all
sorts, but haven't heard of anything called the roll up technique, and
certainly not parbuckling. All I can think of is if its the thing where you
wrap ropes around them to pull them up the side of something quite high,
since its the only thing I can think of where they might be rolled a bit.
Otherwise someone enlighten me! :o)

That's the banana. One end of the <thing you use> is fixed (like you stand
on it or something) and you hold the other end, and the casualty lies in the
loop thus formed. As you pull the unfixed end, the casualty rises half as
fast as the <thing you use>. In effect it's a pulley.

How you do it with ropes and a non-rigid casualty though, I can't imagine.
