I can't say enough great things about you guys. Great topics with interesting points of instruction and input. Had to watch the Croll bump a few times. Quick question, does the technique change when performing this with two large individuals? I'm a weightlifter coming in at 240 pounds. I will be practicing this technique on another rope access tech who weighs about 220 pound. Appreciate you all!
Paul Cole Biggest trick is rocking the patient. Two people around the same size or rescuer larger than patient - no problem. Get your knees under the patients bum and rock them up.
On your next drill recommend you practice not laying the patient flat after rescue due to suspension trauma. I usually teach pickoff using a small plate on the mainline so that rescuer can detach from plate once they reach ground and leave patient on mainline sitting up.
There are some different thoughts regarding this (lay down vs stay on rope) currently in the medical community. We are currently following the down and off rope / flat as fast as possible.
@@roninrescue6011 I will be presenting on post fall rescue at multiple locations. Can you point me to the medical community who says laying the patient flat is acceptable when suspension trauma is suspected. I want to update my material. Thx J
Nice demonstration,keep posting.
Well done gents... I'll be out in the yard tomorrow practicing the croll bump.
